"London has provided the setting and inspiration for a host of literary works in English,
from canonical masterpieces to the popular and ephemeral. Drawing upon a variety of
methods and materials, the essays in this volume explore the London of Langland and
the Peasants' Rebellion, of Shakespeare and the Elizabethan stage, of Pepys and the
Restoration coffee house, of Dickens and Victorian wealth and poverty, of Conrad and
the Empire, of Woolf and the wartime Blitz, of Naipaul and postcolonial immigration,
and of contemporary globalism. Contributions from historians, art historians, theorists
and media specialists as well as leading literary scholars exemplify current approaches
to genre, gender studies, book history, performance studies and urban studies. In
showing how the tradition of English literature is shaped by representations of London,
this volume also illuminates the relationship between the literary imagination and
the society of one of the world's greatest cities"--
