Every book has a creation story, and here I will take you on a tour through some of the most important literary locations in England, at a time when reading may be one of the only forms of travel available to us. London:A tour of literary locations cannot be completed without the inclusion of London, a centre of England’s artistic and cultural richness. Whether you consider Keats to be a literary genius or, as (as John Gibson Lockhart wrote), a ‘fanciful dreaming tea-drinker’, his home is a must see on my tour of literary sites. Sussex:The last stop on our tour is Charleston, one which is testament to my mildly concerning obsession with Virginia Woolf. Keep Exploring:Thank you for joining me on this tour of England’s literary hotspots.
