Answer 2

Explanation:

From the humble lodgings of an impoverished writer yet to make their fortune, to the grand stately mansions of the successful writer, a writer’s home can tell us a lot about the person behind the words: how they lived, what their passions were, what were the personal stories that produced such incredible literature? Sarah lists over 20 famous writer’s houses throughout England, all of which are open to visitors. Can you think of any that should be added?

Th exterior of Thomas Hardy's cottage in Dorset.

Thomas Hardy’s Cottage in Dorset show his humble origins.

A person’s home can tell us a great deal about them and in England we are fortunate that some writers’ homes have been preserved to enable us to have a glimpse into their lives. We can see the same walls, the same views they looked at while they wrote, often sit on the same furniture, and learn far more about the person that we can through their fictional works or poetry. In their homes we learn about their families, the tragedies and triumphs that made them who they are, what they kept hidden and what they were happy to share, all of which led them to write the works that are still part of our literary landscape.

This list includes writers from Shakespeare onwards, and all of them are open to visitors, but do check their websites before leaving as some are only open over the summer months.
