Connect the dots between Britain's 20th century novelists

Ever wondered how authors are connected? Then try this interactive tool and connect the dots between Britain´s 20th century novelists.

The tool was developed by the OU´s OpenLearn Explore team for the OU/BBC co-production In Their Own Words: British Novelists which aired on BBC Four in August 2010, and is now available to watch on BBC iPlayer. The series tells the story of the British novel in the 20th century by those who know it best, the authors themselves. Explore the Openlearn page to find other resources connected to the series.
