'The well-known photographer, Bill Brandt, spent more than a year travelling about Britain to take these hundred photographs of scenes, buildings and interiors associated with British writers of prose and verse especially for this book. Brandt's artistry lies in feeling, as well as seeing, with his camera; his skill captures in a photograph of a landscape, or the interior of a room, the spirit of the place as it was captured by a great writer of the past. You can open the book at his photograph of Glamis Castle and see, with Macbeth, Birnam Wood coming to Dunsinane, or at a photograph of Wuthering Heights and sense again the forbidding spirit of Emily Brontë's classic.Each of these hundred photographs is reproduced on a right-hand page. On the page facing appears the name of the writer and a relevant quotation from his work. These left-hand pages are printed in a neutral colour to add contrast to the intense blacks and whites of Brandt's photographs. The book is introduced by Mr John Hayward, who gives some helpful suggestions as to the pleasures which can be derived from this remarkable combination of an author's work with the scenes which inspired it and the places in which he lived and wrote. This is the most distinguished book of photographs that has appeared in this country for some years. Beyond all qualities of literary enjoyment, humour, technical ability, the outstanding impression the book makes is one of beauty.'100 b/w full page plates.
