  Sussex Literary Landscapes

Presented by Dr Geoffrey Mead

Dr Geoffrey Mead

 

Sussex is a county with a wealth of literary records consisting of prose, poetry, government reports and travel accounts. Using quotes linked to the images of places we move from the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, through Daniel Defoe, William Cobbett, Kipling and on to Patrick Hamilton and Graham Greene’s “Brighton Rock.”

A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies.The man who never reads lives only one.
George R.R. Martin
No entertainment is so cheap as reading, nor any pleasure so lasting.
Mary Wortley Montague.
Reading makes immigrants of us all. It takes us away from home, but more important, it finds homes for us everywhere.
Jean Rhys
One glance at a book and you hear the voice of another person, perhaps someone dead for 1,000 years. To read is to voyage through time.
Carl Sagan
