Book ID/图书代码： 09730004B06203
English Summary/英文概要： Walking Literary London is an intriguing alternative guide to London that focuses on the capital’s myriad connections with novelists, poets and playwrights.
Ideal for visitors, residents, book-lovers and historians alike, Walking Literary London covers 25 carefully researched walks encompassing a vast range of ground, from central areas such as Covent Garden, Westminster and the City to the leafier suburbs of Richmond and Hampstead. Birthplaces, past and present homes and burial places of eminent writers are visited, as are the places that inspired much great literature. Surprising facts are revealed, for instance T. S. Eliot was briefly a schoolmaster at Highgate School and Thomas Hardy once lived in Tooting. The darker side of London’s literary past is also uncovered, including Oscar Wilde’s incarceration in Wandsworth Prison, Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s opium addiction and Sylvia Plath’s suicide.
Each walk has an accompanying map highlighting the route and pinpointing key places of interest. Cafes, bars and restaurants are recommended, and information on public transport and visitor opening times is provided. Walking Literary London is an illuminating companion to London’s rich literary heritage.
