This is a collection of over 4,000 quotations relating to all aspects of the literary world. Encompassing the whole spectrum from the strictly literary to the more popular genres, quotations are ordered chronologically by theme under two main sections, the writer's world, and writers and their works. Topics range from fame, inspiration, alcohol, and censorship to characters, travel writing, the novel, and science fiction. Quotations on a wide range of different authors, and quotations by authors on authors capture the full flavour of literary life. European and North American literature is covered as well as that of the UK. Special author and keyword indexes make the text as user-friendly as possible.
