The Literary Psychogeography of London
The Literary Psychogeography of London
This Pivot book examines literary elements of urban topography that have animated Alan Moore, Peter Ackroyd, and Iain Sinclairs respective representations of London-ness. Ann Tso argues these authors write London psychogeographically to deconstruct popular visions of London with colonial and neoliberal undertones. Moores psychogeography consists of birds-eye views that reveal the brute force threatening to unravel Londonscape from within; Ackroyds aims to detect London sensuously, since every new awareness recalls an otherworldly London; Sinclairs conjures up a narrative consciousness made erratic by Londons disunified landscape. Drawing together the dystopian, the phenomenological, and the postcolonial, Tso explores how these texts characterize London-ness as estranging.
