Item description from seller

Dust jacket complete, unclipped. Black cloth with bright gilt titling on spine. No ownership marks. Numerous photographs and illustrations. 208 pages clean and tight. For many centuries past writers of every kind have chosen to live and work in London, to be near the main sources of patronage and to enjoy all the stimulus of the great metropolis. 'Ideas spark', as Edwin Webb reminds us, 'in the electricity of a city's activities and in the current of conversation with other writers, artists and intellectuals'. Despite the many changes London has seen in recent years, especially since the end of the Second World War, a surprising number of houses, gardens, churches and other public buildings survive to provide us with a direct link to the literary figures of the past. Literary London sets out a whole series of ingeniously-devised tours covering the Cities of London and Westminster, together with Southwark, Holborn, Bloomsbury and Hampstead. Through them we retrace the lives and the fortunes of many of our leading poets, novelists, dramatists and actors. In this book the London'of their experience is recreated for us in words and in pictures - a verbal and visual anthology which tellingly recaptures the shifting sense of time and place. Literary London presents living history at its best. It is an authoritative, widely researched and lively book which will have a direct appeal to all lovers of the English language. In these pages there awaits for the reader the rediscovery of London, its authors, their lives and their works. It will prove an invaluable guide to the visitor to London and to the armchair traveller alike; an indispensable companion which will sharpen and inform interest in the heritage of English literature from Chaucer to very recent times. Size: Sm 4to.
