Description

While ‘The Soul of London: A Survey of a Modern City is not a work of fiction, it is much more than a guidebook.

In these pages, Ford almost anthropomorphises England s capital city, imbuing it with personality and character. He traces its growth and expansion, often drawing parallels between what he learns about London and what he learns about himself.

Fascinating in topographical, historical, and even psychological terms, this is a fascinating book that strives to identify what makes London London.

‘The Soul of London: A Survey of a Modern City is the ideal read for fans of Great Expectations by Charles Dickens.
