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. 410 0$aCambridge companions to literature. 606 $aEnglish literature$zEngland$zLondon$xHistory and criticism 606 $aLiterature and society$zEngland$xHistory 607 $aLondon (England)$xIn literature 607 $aLondon (England)$xIntellectual life 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aLiterature and society$xHistory. 676 $a820.9/358421 686 $aLIT004120$2bisacsh 702 $aManley$b Lawrence$f1949- 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996210311503316 996 $aThe Cambridge companion to the literature of London$92493353 997 $aUNISA 999 $aThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
