London in Poetry and ProseAnna Adams Enitharmon, 2003 - 205 頁 This anthology is a celebration of the city of London: Noisy, stimulating, deadening, filthy, mysterious, tolerant, racist, crime-ridden, saint-haunted, ancient, up-to-the-minute, oppressive, liberating, crowded, lonely, addictive, and green-and-gardened, London is a microcosm of the World.

Writing from the Middle Ages to the present is divided into themes including The Weather in the Streets, The Poor and the Rich, The Countryman in Town, The Recent Wars and unavoidably London Transport ." |
