American and British contributors examine a variety of topics, ranging from poetry to architecture, from dance music to gay pornography, from "tube" maps to the role of Bangladeshi communities in shaping contemporary London politics. Broadly interdisciplinary and deeply attentive to London's historical diversity, the book is unified by its attention to a single question: How have the many imaginations and representations of London shaped?and been shaped by?history and culture? The answers provided within this volume offer the chance to view London in surprising new ways. 607 $aLondon (England)$xHistory 607 $aLondon (England)$xSocial life and customs 607 $aLondon (England)$xHistorical geography 676 $a942.1 701 $aGilbert$b Pamela K$086931 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910963466103321 996 $aImagined Londons$94356520 997 $aUNINA
