EDITED BY LUCY DANIEL Book Number: 68864 Product format: Paperback

Written by 30 international literary critics, academics, journalists, prize-winning authors, poets and experts, it includes in-depth reviews of key works and characters, passages, authors, events, scenes and speeches from over 60 countries, offering a rare insight into the impact of the giants of the literary world. Covering all areas of literature from poetry and plays to children's books and major reference works, this is the ultimate literature-lover's guide to 1,000 of the more important moments that shaped a century. Literature as we know it has been sculpted by the key exponents of the craft, by quirks of fate, meetings, love affairs and moments of despair and death.

Here is the world of literature in a nut-shell. You will wonder how you ever did without it. 800 soft back pages lavishly illustrated in colour and b/w, with author index and book title index.
