Conceiving the City: London, Literature, and Art 1870-1914
Freeman, Nicholas (Senior Lecturer in English, Loughborough University)
Conceiving the City looks at how major writers and artists - Henry James, Monet, Whistler - as well as less familiar figures represented London in fiction, poetry, essays, and art. It shows that late-Victorian fin-de-siecle London emerged as a focus for dynamic, explicitly modern art as writers and artists broke with earlier tradition and bent realism into exciting new shapes, from naturalism to impressionism and symbolism.
