literary pilgrimage

Visiting writers' places

A literary pilgrimage is a journey to places associated with an author or their works—birthplaces, graves, homes, or settings from beloved books.

Fans visit Stratford-upon-Avon for Shakespeare, Haworth for the Brontës, or Dublin to trace Leopold Bloom's route through the city.

We made a literary pilgrimage to Walden Pond.
