About this product

Product Information

Much of Peter Ackroyd's work has been concerned with the life and past of London but here, as a culmination, is his definitive account of the city. For him it is a living organism, with its own laws of growth and change, so London is a biography rather than a history. It differs from other histories, too, in the range and diversity of its contents. Ackroyd portrays London from the time of the Druids to the beginning of the twenty-first century, noting magnificence in both epochs, but this is not a simple chronological record. There are chapters on the history of silence and the history of light, the history of childhood and the history of suicide, the history of Cockney speech and the history of drink. It is in other words a comprehensive account, animated by Ackroyd's concern for the close relationship between the present and the past as well as by what he describes as the peculiar 'echoic' quality of London whereby its texture and history actively affect the lives and personalities of its citizens. London is perhaps the most important study of the city ever written, and confirms Ackroyd's status as what one critic has called 'our age's greatest London imagination.'

Essential reding for any fan of London
Peter Ackroyd's knowledge and enthusiasm for London has led to this 'meisterwork'. He is a great historian and his style is informative and knowledgeable without condescencion. All his factual works are little masterpieces in my opinion. Esssential reading for any fan of London and it's history. As with so much in life, you need to understand the past to tounderstand the present.
