In 2015 Nottingham became one of only 20 cities around the world to be
recognised by UNESCO as a City of Literature – a reflection of the city’s
unique literary heritage and creativity. This exhibition of material from the
literary archives and collections of printed books held by the University of
Nottingham, highlights the work of Nottinghamshire writers and the treasures to
be found in the historic collections of local literature lovers. It also looks
at the University’s role in shaping the reputations and inspiring the early
careers of local poets and authors.
