Following on from Julian Wolfrey's successful Writing London
(1998), this second volume extends Wolfrey's original argument that
a new urban sensibility in the nineteenth century had been
developed which established new ways of writing about and
responding to the city. Writing London - Volume 2 explores through
a range of readings of twentieth-century films and texts the
complex relationship between the experience of the city, the
pleasures of the urban text and the solitary nature of these
pleasures. The book has a broad focus, in part dictated not only by
the transformation of literary production in the twentieth-century,
but also by the need to respond to the changes in both urban
representation and London itself. Writers discussed include
Virginia Woolf, Elizabeth Bowen, Maureen Duffy, Peter Ackroyd, Iain
Sinclair and Michael Moorcock. The volume covers texts from the
late nineteenth-century to the end of the twentieth, in a critical
reading that incorporates the theoretical insights of Walter
Benjamin, Guy Debord and Jacques Derrida.
