"London Eyes provides paths through the city, chancing upon
those stories that ultimately have the potential to change London,
to see it with new eyes, casting new shadows and seeing new stories
open up at many turns. This collection has at its heart a joyous
fascination with the city and the texts, images and films that have
contributed to our ideas about London. It was a wonderful
opportunity to stumble upon some new panoramas." Film
Philosophy
London incessantly generates and incites cultural responses,
pre-eminently in the interconnected domains of literature and film.
This book demonstrates that those responses have been sustained as
vital experiments and engagements in configuring the city and its
inhabitants. Including essays by prominent cultural, literary and
film historians this volume forms an original and incisive
contribution to ongoing debates about the city's intricate cultural
history and its construction through both language and image, as a
crucial site of identity, desire, exile and displacement.
