In literary theory.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou were going to turn the light out. Then Charles Dickens had something to say about the smell of books. \u003cem\u003eBedside Companion for Book Lovers\u003c\/em\u003e gathers literary curiosities for every night of the year: fact and fiction, letters, diaries, essays and dedications that understand why reading is rarely something you do in moderation. There’s Maya Angelou on reading aloud, Virginia Woolf on finding space to write, and Nick Hornby on reading for sheer enjoyment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEditor Jane McMorland Hunter works at Hatchards bookshop when she isn’t writing, so books follow her home professionally as well as personally. Her writing and editing includes \u003cem\u003eOde to London\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eFavourite Poems of England\u003c\/em\u003e and several daily poetry anthologies devoted to nature and friendship. Here, she brings together advice on caring for treasured volumes, coping when books take over the house, and discovering atmospheric libraries and bookshops around the world. Keep it beside the bed.
