A gorgeous book to dip into and savour the rich literary heritage
of Yorkshire, Britain's largest county. Yorkshire is renowned for
its landscapes: the magical wilderness of the moors and the dales,
its cities built on industry and mining, and its varied coastline.
All these places, as well as its people, have been portrayed and
dramatized in literature through the centuries; by poets from
Andrew Marvell to Simon Armitage, by novelists such as Dickens,
Elizabeth Gaskell, Bram Stoker, and of course the Brontes, all of
whom are represented here. Then there are novelists such as David
Storey and Barry Hines, who wrote about working-class lives in the
mining towns in the 1950s and 60s. And finally some favourite
characters to enjoy, such as James Herriot and the Yorkshire
Shepherdess. Yorkshire: A Literary Landscape is edited by David
Stuart Davies.
