JULIAN WOLFREYS is a Senior Lecturer with the Department of English and Drama at Loughborough University, UK. He has published numerous books on nineteenth- and twentieth-century English literature and literary theory. His most recent publications include The Old Story, with a Difference: Pickwick's Vision, Thinking Difference: Critics in Conversation, and Writing London: Materiality, Memory, Spectrality.

'Julian Wolfreys' series of Writing London books goes from strength to strength. This volume contains admirable readings of the way a series of writers 'invent' London by way of telling stories about particular locations within it - including wonderful chapters on London at night, on Richard Marsh's The Beetle , on Amy Levy and Arnold Bennett (he revived an interest in Bennett for me!), on John Berger and Iain Sinclair, and, last, on Eliot's The Waste Land . The Eliot chapter is by far the best essay on The Waste Land I have ever read. It is a genuine tour de force, as is the whole book.' - Professor J. Hillis Miller, Distinguished Professor, University of California, Irvine, USA
