For 400 years Kent and East Sussex were vividly and visibly associated with the cultivation of hops. Fran and Geoff Doel have evoked this bygone world of hopping by gathering together a wide range of social and literary accounts, poems and songs from the Tudor period to the present day, each with a contextual introduction. The selection illustrates both the ‘rose-tinted’ image and the harsher reality of a distinctive aspect of rural life in the south east.

FRAN DOEL MA & Dr Geoff Doel lecture in Cultural Studies for the Faculty of Humanities, University of Kent and have lectured extensively in adult education at various universities on literature, medieval and traditional culture. They are the authors of several books on aspects of traditional British Culture, including Worlds of Arthur and Robin Hood, both published by The History Press. Dr GEOFF DOEL has thirty years’ experience of researching and lecturing on folklore for the universities of Kent & Sussex, Birkbeck and Goldsmiths Colleges and the City Lit. He has a PhD on Thomas Hardy and alongside Fran Doel MA, has lectured extensively in adult education at various universities on literature, medieval and traditional culture. Together, they are the authors of several books on aspects of traditional British Culture, including Worlds of Arthur, Robin Hood, and A Dorset Christmas all published by The History Press.
