- Description
- Explains topographical references in the works of various British writers, from Chaucer to Robert Louis Stevenson and James Joyce, and explores how various locales contributed to various works of literature, including works by Shakespeare, Dr. Johnson, Dickens, Woolf, the Lake poets, the Brontèˆs, Hardy, and more. Includes illustrations contemporary with the writers, as well as atlases and gazetteers. The Chaucer section (pp. 9-29) focuses on medieval London, the topographical allusions in GP (especially the descriptions of the Knight and the Wife of Bath), and the broader fictional worlds of TC, KnT, and SqT.
