Reading Room

A Year of Literary Curiosities

ISBN: 9780712352543 (HB - E)

Prepare to lose yourself among the shelves of the British Library, from the fiction of popular writers such as George Orwell and Muriel Spark, to the rallying cry of Emmeline Pankhurst, to the psychoanalytical mind of Carl Jung. With an extract for every day of the year, each one accompanied by the unique shelfmark number of its source, Reading Room makes space for the often overlooked joy of literary discoveries. Readers will delight in great works of fiction, poetry, essays and letters, as well as historical and scientific treatises. This playful and provocative collection extends reading lists everywhere from the expected and familiar into a wilderness of ephemera curated over centuries. Beautifully illustrated with artwork from the British Library's collections, this book can be read as a thought to start each day, or dipped into for inspiration at random.
