The Literary Guide and Companion to Southern England Revised by Robert M. Cooper |
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Whether the thought of northern England in literature conjures up romantic images of Cathy and Heathcliff on the moors or the grim industrial nightmare of George Orwell's The Road to Wigan Pier, literary-minded travelers to the north of England will find this book a fascinating companion. Cooper, a late professor of English at Rhodes College in Tennessee and the author of The Literary Guide to Middle England (Ohio Univ. Pr., 1993. reprint), delivers the work of a knowledgeable enthusiast rather than the brisk, factual reportage of the professional travel writer. Arranged geographically (starting at Shropshire and moving north to the Scottish border), entries are short essays discussing the relations of writers, both native and visitors, to a town, city, or county. References to more recent authors, e.g., native daughters of Sheffield, A.S. Byatt and Margaret Drabble, are not included. Nor is there any information on food and lodging; this book will not replace standard guides. Recommended for public libraries.
