London Eyes

Zusatztext

<p> London incessantly generates and incites cultural responses, pre-eminently in the interconnected domains of literature and film. This book demonstrates that those responses have been sustained as vital experiments and engagements in configuring the city and its inhabitants. Including essays by prominent cultural, literary and film historians this volume forms an original and incisive contribution to ongoing debates about the citys intricate cultural history and its construction through both language and image, as a crucial site of identity, desire, exile and displacement.</p>
