Résumé
Taken decade by decade Derek Jarman s life is a virtual encapsulation of the social and cultural history of the latter half of the twentieth century from post-war austerity through the liberated sixties and the perplexing seventies to… the eighties of Aids and Thatcherism Always influential in artistic and film-making terms and within the gay community Jarman had attained before his death a figurehead status that is now very generally recognised and can only increase with time His extraordinary garden in Dungeness in Kent has become a major tourist attraction and his films still compel massive critical attention Tony Peake was Derek Jarman s literary agent and knew him well His authorised biography is based on first-hand interviews and primary research and does immense justice to a brilliant - and singular - subject
