lt;p>"This is a worthwhile attempt to bring an important current approach to the urban imaginary to the literature of perambulation in eighteenth-century London. ... Löffler exposes a rich seam of writing, ranging across a wide spectrum of genres, which rein forces current scholarship in presenting the metropolis as a shifting, multivalent kaleidoscope of spaces and experiences: not one London but many Londons, in the representation and imagining of which literary psychogeography plays a significant part."
