From the elegant squares of Georgian Dublin to the bustling streets around Temple Bar and the River Liffey, Dublin is a city shaped by stories. Its history and character have inspired some of the world's greatest writers, and this little book explores the places, people and works that helped establish the Irish capital as one of the world's great literary cities.

Encounter poets, playwrights and novelists including James Joyce, Oscar Wilde, W.B. Yeats and Seamus Heaney, and visit the pubs, theatres and streets that shaped their lives and work. Step inside Trinity Library, one of the most beautiful in the world, and discover St Patrick's Cathedral, where Jonathan Swift served as Dean and found inspiration for Gulliver's Travels. Enjoy a pint of Guinness at McDaid's - a pub once frequented by Brendan Behan and Flann O'Brien - and explore Trinity College Dublin, the backdrop to Sally Rooney's acclaimed early novels. Browse through the books in the third-oldest bookshop in the world, Hodges Figgis, and take it all in at the Museum of Literature Ireland - which holds immersive exhibitions celebrating Irish writers and literary culture, including Joyce's famous Copy No. 1 of Ulysses.

Blending literary history, colourful anecdotes and wise and witty quotes, The Little Book of Literary Dublin is an entertaining introduction to the writers, landmarks and stories that have been written large in the cityscape.
