This monograph undertakes the first extensive comparative analysis of the works of Iain Sinclair and
Peter Ackroyd, placing the fiction and non-fiction of both writers in relation to the broader cultural,
social and political contexts of London from
1979.
It begins by tracing the two different
Londons
of both writers, arguing that their literary and cultural projects are intrinsically linked, yet have
remained under-explored in academic criticism.
Alex Murray argues that that while both Sinclair and Ackroyd attempt to utilize radical narrative
practices to challenge the dominant historical discourses within contemporary London, those
challenges must be placed in relation to broader issues of cultural history, government appropriation
of historical narratives and debates about the relationship between literature and the city. This
argument is traced from the radical historical fiction of the
1980s
which launched the career of
both writers, through to their extensive bodies of work on creating a specifically London form of
literary history, to their engagements towards the turn of the millennium with larger questions
of historiography and material history. This study then links these issues of narrative and material
history, demonstrating the increasingly problematic relationship that both writers have, as their
fictionally radical recalling of London is transformed into issues of material history, primarily
the issues of politics and ethics in historical representation, and the relationship between history
and commodification.
