Writing Britain: Wastelands to Wonderlands
Opens: 11/05/2012 Closes: 25/09/2012
British Library, London
The British Library is looking at people who wander about writing: or rather, those who wander about the British landscape writing. The exhibition explores links between authors and their environments – from Wordsworth's lakes to JG Ballard's sprawling suburban shopping malls. Navigate your way around original manuscripts, drawings, recordings and more.
