About the Editors:
Dorothy Eagle and Hilary Carnell prepared the orginal edition of the Oxford Literary Guide. Meic Stephens is a former Literature Director of the Welsh Arts Council and editor of The Oxford Companion to the Literature of Wales.
A vast encyclopedic reference, this guide provides information on the homes, churches, universities, and geographic areas connected with British and Irish literature, complete with maps and an annotated index of authors. Also included are quotations and exquisite illustrations of writers, their homes, and landscapes such as the scene of Sir Walter Scott's inspiration for Kenilworth . Revised from the first edition (1981. o.p.), this second edition has added new places and authors, many of them women. The most delightful feature, however, remains the tidbits of information, often humorous, about the writers and their works. For instance, one entry mentions Dylan Thomas's immortalizing a bathroom containing an aviary. This book will guide the traveler, whether mental or physical, to new enjoyment of British literature. Strongly recommended for all libraries.
