Ann Tso argues these authors write London ?psychogeographically? to deconstruct popular visions of London with colonial and neoliberal undertones. Moore?s psychogeography consists of bird?s-eye views that reveal the brute force threatening to unravel Londonscape from within; Ackroyd?s aims to detect London sensuously, since every new awareness recalls an otherworldly London; Sinclair?s conjures up a narrative consciousness made erratic by London?s disunified landscape. Drawing together the dystopian, the phenomenological, and the postcolonial, Tso explores how these texts characterize ?London-ness? as estranging. 410 0$aLiterary Urban Studies,$x2523-7896 606 $aLiterature$xPhilosophy 606 $aEuropean literature 606 $aEthnology$xGreat Britain 606 $aCulture 606 $aCities and towns$xHistory 606 $aSociology, Urban 606 $aCulture$xStudy and teaching 606 $aLiterary Theory 606 $aEuropean Literature 606 $aBritish Culture 606 $aUrban History 606 $aUrban Sociology 606 $aCultural Studies 615 0$aLiterature$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aEuropean literature. 615 0$aEthnology$xGreat Britain. 615 0$aCulture. 615 0$aCities and towns$xHistory. 615 0$aSociology, Urban. 615 0$aCulture$xStudy and teaching. 615 14$aLiterary Theory. 615 24$aEuropean Literature. 615 24$aBritish Culture. 615 24$aUrban History. 615 24$aUrban Sociology. 615 24$aCultural Studies. 676 $a741.5942 676 $a800 700 $aTso$b Ann$0998884 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910483282603321 996 $aThe literary psychogeography of London$92291635 997 $aUNINA
