it is really good to understand how english literature works

It's packed with information, wonderfully organised - 348 pages of place names, alphabetically arranged, each details of all literary associations; a 64-page index of authors, each with all place associations; and 13 maps.

From Abberley (Pope stayed there once) to Zennor (both W.H. Hudson and D.H. Lawrence hung out there), if there is a place with a literary connection in Great Britain or Ireland it is sure to be listed here. A useful reference and would be fun to use in planning a tour of the British Isles.
