About this book
English lanes, old churches and literary memorials give William Winter a way to connect landscape with the books he loves. These travel sketches record visits made in 1877 and 1882, with particular attention to Warwickshire and the places associated with Shakespeare. London, Windsor and Canterbury also appear among the stops. Winter writes as an American visitor moved by rural scenery, historic buildings and the memories attached to them.
At Stratford, his attention settles on the surviving foundations and restored gardens of New Place, tracing the house's owners and imagining the outlook from Shakespeare's windows. Such passages mix details about physical remains with personal reflection and lines of poetry.
