The early writings here include works by Spanish, French, and British settlers.The middle years include Samuel Taylor Coleridge and Oliver Goldsmith, who never saw Florida but used it in their poems.Severla writers, such as Henry James and William Dean Howells, helped expose Floirda to the nation.

The latest offerings include works by two bestselling mystery writers, Michael Connelly and Randy Wayne White.
