Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from On the Trail of Stevenson Pilgrimages to the homes and haunts of famous authors are in many cases merely sentimental journeys. There is a type of writer whose works are utterly uninfluenced by the places where they were conceived and written. Of this type, Edgar Allan Poe may be cited as an extreme example. There is no passage in any of his masterpieces to remind us that he was born in Boston, lived in Richmond, Philadelphia, and New York, and died in Baltimore. Sentimental tourists may visit his cottage in Fordham or lay flowers on his grave; but in neither of these places will they find the slightest clue to the appreciation of his genius. The number of American visitors to Stratford-on-Avon is at present computed to be more than twenty-five thousand a year; but these pilgrims are no nearer to Shakespeare in his birthplace than they were in New York or New Haven, in Kankakee or Kokomo.
