Summary

Combining a unique overview of metropolitan visual culture with detailed textual analysis, this interdisciplinary study explores the relationship between the two cities Londoners inhabited: the physical spaces of the metropolis, whose socially stratified and gendered topography was shaped by consumer culture and unregulated capitalism; and an imaginary "London," an "unreal city" which reflected and influenced their understanding of, and actions in, the "real" environment.

Author Biography

Alan Robinson is Professor of English at the University of St Gallen, Switzerland.
