About This Item
London: Methuen Young Books, 1980. Abridged ed.. Paperback trade, very good condition, minor edgewear corners. 239 pp. Abridged edition. A shorter and more concentrated text with focus on literary masterpieces that explored the Grub Street milieu (low-brow literary writing and book and pamphlet publishing). The author has written a tighter copy to show the presence and use of London imagery in Alexander Pope's and Jonathan Swift's essays and poetry. Discussion of London life, 17th and 18th-century urban development, as well as the period of Augustan literature, will interest students of social history.
