The writers referenced in Literary Norfolk

Literary Norfolk is a celebration of Norfolk's writing in all its manifest variety. Haggard, Shakespeare, Skelton, Dickens, Trollope - these are the more familiar names of Norfolk's heritage, safely enshrined in the literary canon. But Norfolk is a landscape of lost voices too: Mary Mann's impoverished villagers, Doreen Wallace's farming communities, Amelia Opie's social entanglements, Christopher Woodforde's eerie stories, Anthony C Wilson's boy detectives. And now the voices of a new generation demand to be heard: Rose Tremain, D J Taylor, Katherine Pierpoint, Andrew Cowan, Lynne Bryan - Norfolk permeates the work of them all.
