How can poems firmly attached to particular regions speak to readers far away? Why do writers turn to their own communities for materials? This book explores the literature of local attachment through the consideration of works by writers - Heaney, Burns, Wordsworth, Scott, Lamb, and Dickens - whose feeling for place is especially evident.
