London in English literature

"This volume published in 1913 is a delightful foray into the city of London from the times of Chaucer through the modern era. Geared toward students and readers interested in the settings of their favorite pieces of English literature, this informative book was the first of its kind to link the actual city of London with its literary tradition. London in English Literature charmingly describes the London of Shakespeare, Milton, Dryden, and Dickens, among other noteworthy authors."@en
"A tremendous collection of literature has been produced by Londoners and about London, and in this 1913 volume, University of Chicago literature professor Percy H. Boynton explores the rich literary heritage of the English cultural capital. Boynton takes the reader on a journey from the medieval walled town of Geoffrey Chaucer to the cosmopolitan metropolis known by authors of the Victorian age, providing valuable historical and social context along the way. For the dedicated scholar (or for those just interested in traveling back to another period of London history), Boynton also provides bibliographies of significant works from each major historical period as well as an extensive list of novels illustrative of London life."@en
