Caroline Taggart sets off on a tour of Europe to select 100 literary landmarks across the continent to describe and provide practical advice for visiting. Discover the inspirations in Austria for Mary Shelly and in Sweden for Astrid Lindgren; visit Cervantes’ statue in Madrid dating back to 1835 and explore the French Riviera through the eyes of F. Scott Fitzgerald. The entries stretch from Homer in the eighth century BCE all the way to modern-day Scandi Noir, Sally Rooney’s Dublin and Elena Ferrante’s Naples. Accompanied by colour destination photographs and illustrations, mainly from the British Library Collections.
