Walking the Streets of Eighteenth-Century London will entertain and
inform all who are interested in literature, history, and the city
of London. This unique book invites the reader to walk along the
dirty, crowded, and fascinating streets of eighteenth-century
London in an unusual way. Nine leading experts from the fields of
literature, history, classics, gender, biography, geography, and
costume, offer different interpretations of John Gay's poem Trivia:
or, the Art of Walking the Streets of London (1716). The poem - a
lively, funny, and thought-provoking statement about urban life -
accompanies the essays, in a new edition with comprehensive notes.
The introduction paints a vibrant picture of London in 1716,
depicting Gay's fascinating life and literary world, offering an
invaluable guide to the poem. Together, these elements allow the
heat, grime, and smells of the underbelly of eighteenth-century
London come alive in new ways.
