Hardcover. Condición: Good. THERE ARE NO TARIFFS OR CUSTOMS DUTIES ON BOOKS. The book is in good condition, with clean and bright pages throughout. The previous owners name is written on the inner free end paper and the inner title page, but the book itself appears largely unread. The dust jacket cover has some tanning to the edges, but no text or imaging is obscured. Following on from Julian Wolfrey's successful Writing London (1998), this second volume extends Wolfrey's original argument that a new urban sensibility in the nineteenth century had been developed which established new ways of writing about and responding to the city. Writing London Volume 2 explores through a range of readings of twentieth century films and texts the complex relationship between the experience of the city, the pleasures of the urban text and the solitary nature of these pleasures. The book has a broad focus, in part dictated not only by the transformation of literary production in the twentieth century, but also by the need to respond to the changes in both urban representation and London itself. Writers discussed include Virginia Woolf, Elizabeth Bowen, Maureen Duffy, Peter Ackroyd, Iain Sinclair and Michael Moorcock. The volume covers texts from the late nineteenth century to the end of the twentieth, in a critical reading that incorporates the theoretical insights of Walter Benjamin, Guy Debord and Jacques Derrida.
