PAUL NEWMAN
Portrait of Paul Newman by Pietro Annigoni
Paul
Newman lives in Cornwall, Great Britain, where he occasionally lectures in
writing and publishing and edits Abraxas,
a magazine incorporating The Colin Wilson Newsletter and covering
literature, psychology and ideas. Since becoming a full-time writer in the
1970s, he has produced books and articles
covering subjects as diverse as symbolism, topography and literature.
Titles include Channel Passage (1975), The Hill of the Dragon
(1979), Gods and Graven Images (1987) and commissioned works on the
cities of Bath and Bristol. Together with the sculptor A.R.
Lamb, he recently shared a poetry collection In Many Ways Frogs
(1997) followed by Lost Gods of Albion
(1998), a study of British hill-figures, currently available from shops
and bookclubs. His most recent work is A History
of Terror
from prehistoric times to the present, dealing with fear and dread down
the ages, analysing panic cults and the aesthetics of this primitive
sensation. Extracts from this work can be sampled at our Tripod
site along with extracts from the most recent issue of Abraxas.
