What is A literary guide to Dublin : writers in Dublin : literary associations and anecdotes about?

<i>A Literary Guide to Dublin</i> is a fascinating companion to the city that has been home to some of the most famous names in the history of literature and drama written in English, and the birthplace of three winners of the Nobel Prize for Literature: Shaw, Yeats, and Beckett. <p>Vivien Igoe traces the connections between writers and the city, from natives such as Wilde, Joyce, O'Casey and Behan; to those who spent most of their adult years there such as Kavanagh and Swift; and even visitors such as Dickens and Shelley. Entertaining anecdotes are woven in with details of areas the writers frequented and the locations in which their works were set, accompanied by contemporary and present-day photographs. Also included are five walking tours with maps, guides to the cemeteries where many of the writers are buried, and a separate section on the literary pubs.</p>
