London has long inspired and celebrated books and writing, and some
of the most well-known and beloved names in English Literature have
all passed through the city – William Shakespeare, Virginia Woolf
and Oscar Wilde, to name a few. With Literary London as your guide,
walk in their footsteps, discover their old stomping grounds and
shine a new light on both the authors and their city. Decorated
with illustrations, maps, and interspersed with fact boxes about
the lives of major London writers, this book delves deep into
literary history to reveal a hidden world of spies, romantic poets
and revolutionary outcasts, journeying via the publishing houses,
cafes and parks that have played their part in inspiring them over
the years. Traversing both genres and historical periods, Literary
London is a snappy and informative guide to a city steeped in
history and culture, telling the stories behind the stories.
