Reviews«This book by Hugo Walter is a thoughtful, insightful, and most comprehensive treatment of the concept of sanctuary in literature and a delight to read. It will make a perfect addition to any library of great literature.» (Mary Jane Clerkin, Berkeley College Online) «This book is a profound examination of spaces of renewal and vitality found in literature and art.
