The Romney Marsh writers would never have seen themselves as a group but literary history has brigaded them according to the geography and time, not least because they mostly knew and, in some cases influenced each other.

They were all active in the early 20th Century and include Henry James, H G Wells, Joseph Conrad, Ford Madox Ford, Hart Crane and – though he might not have included himself – Rudyard Kipling. What brought them to this part of the world, how did they get on, and did the Marsh and its environs influence their writing?
