Edited by Dorothy Eagle and Hilary Carnell, this meticulously researched volume chronicles the homes, haunts, birthplaces, and burial grounds of hundreds of writers across England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland, weaving together geography and biography into a seamless tapestry of literary history.\n\nArranged alphabetically by place, the guide presents an encyclopaedic survey of the physical world that shaped and inspired centuries of great literature, from Chaucer's Kent to Yeats's Sligo, from the Brontës' Yorkshire moors to Dylan Thomas's Welsh coastline. Oxford University Press's hallmark scholarly rigour is evident throughout, yet the writing remains accessible and evocative, ensuring that armchair travellers and literary pilgrims alike will find it indispensable. Whether used as a travel companion or a work of pure literary discovery, this guide leaves the reader with an irresistible urge to set out and walk in the footsteps of the writers who made Britain's landscapes immortal.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203187024091,"sku":"2026200015194-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/48d87beb-eb67-4aea-a729-5613aa425d86.png?v=1788145250","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200015194-secondhand-the-oxford-literary-guide-to-the-british-isles","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
