Cover of A. Robinson: Imagining London, 1770-1900 (PDF)

Combining a unique overview of metropolitan visual culture with detailed textual analysis, this interdisciplinary study explores the relationship between the two cities which 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.
