The Literary Psychogeography of London: Otherworlds of Alan Moore, Peter Ackroyd and Iain Sinclair by Ann Tso
Requirements: .PDF reader, 1.72MB
Overview: This book examines literary elements of urban topography that have animated Alan Moore, Peter Ackroyd and Iain Sinclair’s respective representations of London-ness. Ann Tso argues these authors write London psychogeographically to deconstruct popular visions of London with colonial and neoliberal undertones. Moore’s psychogeography consists of bird’s-eye views that reveal the brute force threatening to unravel Londonscape from within, Ackroyd’s aims to detect London sensuously, since every new awareness recalls an otherworldly London and Sinclair’s conjures up a narrative consciousness made erratic by London’s disunified landscape. Drawing together the dystopian, the phenomenological and the postcolonial, Tso explores how these texts characterize London-ness as estranging.
