YORKSHIRE: A LITERARY LANDSCAPE (PB)

England’s largest county is renowned for the magical wilderness of its moors and dales, its cities built on industry and mining, and its varied coastline. Its place in literature through the centuries is no less impressive. In this anthology you’ll find poets from Andrew Marvell to Simon Armitage; classic novelists such as Charles Dickens, Elizabeth Gaskell, Bram Stoker and the Brontes; David Storey and Barry Hines, who wrote about working-class mining towns; and favourite rural characters such as James Herriot and the Yorkshire Shepherdess.
