Writers

Their Lives and Works

James Naughtie
From Dante, Boccaccio and Chaucer to authors such as Murakami and Arundhati Roy writing today, this literary compendium presents succinct biographical articles, notes on key books, quotations, portraits and other illustrations for over 100 novelists, poets and playwrights. The book is international in scope, with writers from places as far-flung as China and Argentina, and arranged in six chronological sections, each one ending with a ‘Directory’ giving briefer profiles of a further selection of authors.
