Publisher Description
Every country has its capital, its center for governance and culture, but few capitals can lay claim to being known the world over. London is one of the few. Its sense and scale of history, its rich, diverse culture, its triumphs and its failures, and most of all, its people provide the world with an enduring mark of mankind striving to make good, to make better.
In London: A City in Words, our poets, including William Blake, Thomas Hardy, Coventry Patmore, William Wordsworth, Matthew Arnold, Rudyard Kipling, and many others, collect their thoughts, gather their words, and deliver poems on the subject of our city.
