From Chaucer to Shakespeare, Wordsworth to Hardy, and the Brontes to Dickens, the passages in the book explore how the landscape and heritage of this country has shaped its literature. Extracts are included from: Dracula; by Bram Stoker; (Whitby Abbey); Tess of the D'Urbervilles; by Thomas Hardy; (Stonehenge); Idylls of the King; by Alfred Lord Tennyson; (Tintagel Castle); On the Origin of Species; by Charles Darwin (Down House); Kenilworth; by Sir Walter Scott (Kenilworth Castle); Henry IV; by William Shakespeare (Warkworth Castle)
