Excerpt from Literary Geography and Travel-Sketches, Vol. 4
The following papers on the distinctive features of the actual or delineated country of certain famous writers, and on certain regions Which have many literary associations, now collectively grouped under the title Literary Geograpfiy, have appeared at intervals during 1903 and 1904. In Tbe Tall Mall Magazine. The order in which they appeared there has not been adhered to, and here and there a few passages or quotations or illustra tions have been cancelled otherwise, save for the correction of one or two slips in nomenclature or other misstatements, the articles appear as they were written. It has been thought better to keep the illustrations apart from the text, hence the arrange ment by Which they now stand by themselves.
It is obvious that the choice of theme has been arbitrary. Where, for instance, is The Country of Thomas Hardy But 'wessex' has been so exploited that further writing on the subject seemed to be super¿uous. It is, however, equally obvious that, to be adequately inclusive, not a single volume but a Cyclopedia of Literary Geography would be necessary. The present volume aims at nothing more than to be a readable companion in times of leisure for those Who are in sympathy With the author's choice of writers and localities and if they share his own pleasure in wandering through these literary lands he on his part Will be well content.
