Libraries in Literature edited by Robert Crawford, Alice Crawford
English | December 30, 2022 | ISBN: 0192855735 | True EPUB | 304 pages | 1.2 MB
Unashamedly a book for the bookish, yet accessible and frequently entertaining, this is the first book devoted to how libraries are depicted in imaginative writing. Covering fiction, poetry, and drama from the late Middle Ages to the present, it runs the gamut of British and American literature, as well as examining a range of fiction in other languages-from Rabelais and Cervantes to modern and contemporary French, Italian, Japanese, and Russian writing.
