A meditation on twilight in Western thought, painting and literature, which combines memoir, literature and art history.

This ambitious account of the arts of the evening, now available in paperback, deftly combines prose-poetry, memoir, philosophy and art history. Intertwining personal, cultural and artistic histories, it is a richly rewarding book written in a unique voice.

Peter Davidson is Fellow of Campion Hall, University of Oxford. He is the author of a book of essays about northern culture, Distance and Memory (2013), a collection of verse, The Palace of Oblivion (2008), and the cultural and aesthetic history The Idea of North (Reaktion, 2005).
