The post-war redevelopment of London has been the most extensive in
its history, and has been accompanied by a dramatic social and
cultural upheaval. This book explores the literary re-imagining of
the city in post-war fiction and argues that the image, history,
and narrative of the city has been transformed alongside the
physical rebuilding and repositioning of the capital. Drawing on
the ideas of Michel de Certeau, Henri Lefebvre, Anthony Vigler and
others as well as the latest work on urban representation, this
book is an important contribution to the study of the intersection
between place, lived experience, and the literary imagination.
Texts covered include novels by some of the most significant and
lesser known authors of the period, including Graham Greene, George
Orwell, J. G. Ballard, Stella Gibbons, David Lodge, Doris Lessing,
B. S. Johnson, Sam Selvon, V. S. Naipaul, Peter Ackroyd and Iain
Sinclair.
