To mark 100 years of city status, Stoke-on-Trent has inspired a major literary project. Keele University lecturer and author Dr Lisa Blower has created the city鈥檚 first ever literary canon as part of her 鈥�100 Books for 100 Years鈥� project.

The canon brings together works by Potteries-born writers from across the past century, celebrating Stoke-on-Trent鈥檚 rich cultural and storytelling heritage, while also highlighting some gaps in the post-war years.

The project will now form a lasting legacy, with Stoke Archives planning a physical collection of the books, alongside work with local schools to inspire a new generation of writers and launch the city鈥檚 next chapter in literature.
