Historical novel set around ENGLAND (Birmingham)
Literary Landscapes: Charting the Worlds of Classic Literature
Location(s): World
Genre(s): Nonfiction
Era(s): 19th-21st century
Literary Landscapes draws together those well-loved authors who are synonymous with a place and time, celebrating Hardy’s Wessex, Joyce’s Dublin and Du Maurier’s Cornwall. It comes right up to date with recent bestsellers, such as Eleanor Catton’s Booker Prize winning The Luminaries, Armistead Maupin’s Tales of the City and Elena Ferrante’s My Brilliant Friend. International in breadth and scope, its charm lies in the way these favourites are interspersed with the unfamiliar, providing much to explore.
Led by John Sutherland, a team of specialist literary critics have contributed individual essays on over 70 literary novels where landscape is as central to the tale as any character, and just as easily recognized. Entries are beautifully illustrated with archive material, original artworks, maps and photographs.
