Description
An uncorrected proof copy of The Shakespeare Country by Jonathan Keates, published by Collins, London in 1979. A near fine copy, with buckling and fading to the spine, some toning to the text block.
Shakespeare Country by Jonathan Keates is a beautifully crafted travel literary exploration of the landscapes and heritage surrounding Stratford upon Avon and Warwickshire. Combining historical insight with vivid description, Keates guides readers through the region’s villages, churches and countryside that inspired Shakespeare. It’s part guide book, part cultural meditation—highlighting architecture, local lore and natural beauty. His elegant prose captures both the mythic connection to the Bard and the quieter charm of rural England.
