In this brilliant work of literary investigation Matthew Beaumont shines a light on the shadowy perambulations of poets novelists and thinkers: the fetid treacherous streets known to Chaucer and Shakespeare William Blake and his ecstatic peregrinations the feverish ramblings of opium addict Thomas De Quincey and among the lamp-lit literary throng the supreme nightwalker Charles Dickens. We discover how the nocturnal city has inspired some and served as a balm or narcotic to others. In each case the city is revealed as a place divided between work and pleasure the affluent and the indigent where the entitled and the desperate rub shoulders.
