Website Provides Database of Writers' Houses

Posted on August 11, 2010

A. N. Devers launched an interesting website earlier this year called Writers' Houses. A. N. Devers says his decision to launch a site dedicated to documenting writers' houses came from "a growing obsession, since childhood, with books, travel, and making connections between a writer's work and place."

The Writers' Houses database can be browsed by author, city, state and country. Some of the authors in the database include Ralph Waldo Emerson, Edgar Allan Poe, Edith Wharton, Thomas Wolfe and William Faulkner.
