    Annotation:

    Remembering genius Londinii : London writers and the spirit of the city studies the role of memory in the recognition of genius loci, as presented in the novels of four London authors: Peter Ackroyd's The House of Doctor Dee (1993), Dan Leno and the Limehouse Golem (1994), and Three Brothers (2013), Maureen Duffy's Capital (1975), Michael Moorcock's Mother London (1988), and Zadie Smith's White Teeth (2000). The study approaches the subject mainly via the ideas of phenomenologically disposed humanistic geography and environmental psychology, yet stays within the context of literary research. The readings of the novels are organized thematically, examining the evolution of genius loci in a city with immemorial layers of past, in a city serving as a place of growth, and in a city threatened by a collective crisis. The discussion is rounded off by an analysis of the relevance of memory to the formation of genius Londinii when personal and collective memories have become displaced. (Back cover)
