Some stories couldn't happen just anywhere, As in the case with all great literature, the setting, scenery, and landscape are as central to the tale as any character, and just as easily recognized. Literary Landscapes delves deep into the geography, location, and terrain of our best-loved literary works and examines how their setting is intrinsic to the stories that unfold within their borders.
Follow Leopold Bloom's footsteps around Dublin in Ulysses. Hear the music of the Mississippi River steamboats that set the score for Huckleberry Finn. Experience the rugged bleakness of Newfoundland in The Shipping News or the soft Neapolitan breezes in My Brilliant Friend.
The landscapes of enduring fictional characters and their stories are vividly brought to life, evoking all the sights and sounds of these worlds.
