Women Writing on the Devon Land: A County's Women Who Wrote - circa 1965

Exeter Environs A - Z of Devon Places & Women Writers  E is Easy         Well, at first glance, Exeter 'for E' seems an easy choice of places for this A-Z of Devon women writers,  in the sense that many writers linked with Devon were also connected with the city. But, when I sat down to begin writing this piece I realised that actually Exeter may be one of the hardest of this A-Z of Devon places. In other words, perhaps too many of the writers on my lists were closely associated with Exeter! It would be possible to have a whole blog devoted just to them.  I've found information that shows us women writing in one way or other from the earliest historical records right up to the mid C20. In the book I'm completing, Exeter is threaded like a gem throughout the text as a central county hub, which connects individuals to one another and through the centuries. This is no surprise of course, as Exeter represents a historical slice of time for Devon.
