Unknown London - Early Modernist Visions of the Metropolis, 1815-45 (Hardcover)

Unknown London is an anthology of literature and graphic illustrations that effectively defined a formative moment in the history of the metropolis. Over a period from 1815 to 1845, a relatively small number of authors, playwrights and illustrators, working within a bohemian literary culture, attempted innovatively to grasp the complex totality of the metropolis. They drew contradictorily upon previous genres, but used radical new devices to define their object of inquiry, simultaneously laying the foundation for the writings of Charles Dickens, Henry Mayhew and their successors.
