The Literary Landscapes of Dorset | Kevan Manwaring

Dorset is a county as rich in literary heritage as it is in natural beauty. The distinctive rounded hills, verdant vales, hollow ways, and rugged coastline have inspired writers for centuries, and have provided resonant settings for some of the finest writing in the English language. Thomas Hardy, Jane Austen, John Fowles, and Tracy Chevalier are only some of the great writers whose work has both drawn upon Dorset and has become associated with its landscapes and landmarks.
In this talk writer and academic, Dr Kevan Manwaring, will offer an entertaining guided tour – offering both an overview to the unfamiliar, and insights and surprises to those already acquainted with the area. Drawing upon his extensive field research and scholarship, he will share photographs and archive material in this well-illustrated lecture.
