Via Maps Mania, from University College London, how London has been seen through the eyes of Europe’s cultural luminaries by mapping some of these observations of the city.
‘Lost & Found: A European Literary Map of London’ is peppered with a series of colourful markers, each bearing the name of a European writer, artist or intellectual who has visited the city. Click on a marker to read an excerpt from the named cultural icon describing their impressions of London. The excerpts are taken from novels, letters and biographies, so contain a mix of fictional and non-fictional descriptions of the capital.
Fun. Thanks John. Cheers, BT
