　　Anna Quindlen first visited London from a chair in her

suburban Philadelphia home—in one of her beloved childhood mystery

novels. She has been back to London countless times since, through

the pages of books and in person, and now, in Imagined London, she

takes her own readers on a tour of this greatest of literary

cities.

While New York, Paris, and Dublin are also vividly portrayed in

fiction, it is London, Quindlen argues, that has always been the

star, both because of the primacy of English literature and the

specificity of city de*ions. She bases her view of the city on

her own detailed literary map, tracking the footsteps of her

favorite characters: the places where Evelyn Waugh's bright young

things danced until dawn, or where Lydia Bennett eloped with the

dastardly Wickham.

In Imagined London, Quindlen walks through the city, moving

within blocks from the great books of the 19th century to the

detective novels of the 20th to the new modernist tradition of the

21st. With wit and charm, Imagined London gives this splendid city

its full due in the landscape of the literary imagination.

Praise for Imagined London:

"Shows just how much a reading experience can enrich a physical

journey." —New York Times Book Review

"An elegant new work of nonfiction... People will be inspired by

this book." —Ann Curry, Today

"An affectionate, richly allusive tribute to the city." —Kirkus
