Landscapes of London : The City, the Country, and the Suburbs, 1660–1840

Omtale

The idea of a "Greater London" emerged in the 18th century with the expansion of the city's suburbs. In this book, the author traces this growth back to the 17th century, when domestic retreats were established in outlying areas. It shows London as the forerunner of the complex, multifaceted modern cities of today.
