John Ruskin lived in the house of Brantwood, in Coniston, from 1872 until his death, in 1900. Built by the architect Thomas Woodville, Ruskin added the tower to the corner, that became his bedroom. On the ground floor, the dining room with its seven ogival windows was completed in 1878. Today, the house preserves the memorabilia of the writer of The Seven Lamps of Architecture (1848), Father of the anti-restoration movement. / In 1904 James Joyce (Dublin 1882 - Zurich 1941) moved with his friend, the writer Oliver Gogarty, the Mul¬ligan of Ulysses, in the Hammer Tower of Sandycove. The pages of the Ulysses were written here. In the book is Stephen who rents the tower and Mulligan and Haines are his guests. Today, the tower is a museum dedicated to Joyce, opened in 1962 by its first publisher, Sylvia Beach / Talland House, Cornwall, is the coffer of Virginia Woolf’s fondest memories and words of youth. With its late-Victorian charm, built in colonial style with a view of St. Ives bay, towards the Go-drevy lighthouse, Talland House insistently returns in its first novel, To the lighthouse, published in 1927. This novel is a reflection on the feelings experienced by the writer in the summer residence during her youth.
