The Soul of London: A Survey of a Modern City (Everyman Library)
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Evoking the glamour and frivolity of its high society life's growth over the centuries into a bewildering mass of possibilities, and the hardship of its working people, Soul of London (1905) displays an alluring humanity. Part history, part personal reminiscence and part prose poem, Ford's prophetic image of the evolution of modernity prefigures the social alienation that would transform twentieth century literature.
From the Publisher
Founded in 1906 by J.M. Dent, the Everyman Library has always tried to make the best books ever written available to the greatest number of people at the lowest possible price. Unique editorial features that help Everyman Paperback Classics stand out from the crowd include: a leading scholar or literary critic's introduction to the text, a biography of the author, a chronology of her or his life and times, a historical selection of criticism, and a concise plot summary. All books published since 1993 have also been completely restyled: all type has been reset, to offer a clarity and ease of reading unique among editions of the classics; a vibrant, full-color cover design now complements these great texts with beautiful contemporary works of art. But the best feature must be Everyman's uniquely low price. Each Everyman title offers these extensive materials at a price that competes with the most inexpensive editions on the market-but Everyman Paperbacks have durable binding, quality paper, and the highest editorial and scholarly standards.
