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.
