Product Description
Product Description
A clearly written, comprehensive critical introduction to one of the most original contemporary British writers, providing an overview of all of Sinclair s major works and an analysis of his vision of modern London. This book places Sinclair in a range of contexts, including: the late 1960s counter-culture and the British Poetry Revival ; London s underground histories; the rise and fall of Thatcherism, and Sinclair s writing about Britain under New Labour; Sinclair s connection to other writers and artists, such as J.G. Ballard, Michael Moorcock and Marc Atkins. This book makes a significant contribution to the growing scholarship surrounding Sinclair s work, offering the first critical text that covers in detail all of Sinclair s work: his poetry, fiction, non-fiction (including his book on John Clare, Edge of the Orison), and his film work. Using a generally chronological structure, this book traces the on-going themes in Sinclair s writing, such as the uncovering of lost histories of London, the influence of visionary writings, and the importance of walking in the city, and more recent developments in his texts, such as the focus on spaces outside of London and his filmic collaborations with Chris Petit. This book provides a critically-informed discussion of Sinclair s work using a variety of approaches. It will be of interest to those studying contemporary British fiction or the literature of London, but also to the more general reader with an interest in how writers have responded to the life, fabric and spaces of the contemporary city.
