'Literary London: Interdisciplinary studies in the representation of
London' is the first and only e-journal to provide a common forum for
scholars and students engaged specifically in the study of London and
literature. It is dedicated to fostering an intellectual community that
will facilitate interdisciplinary exchange. While the editorial focus of
the journal will be on representations of London in literature, articles
in cognate disciplines that will contribute to readings of London are
very much encouraged. These subject areas might include readings of
London in history, drama, film, geography, art history, architecture,
urban sociology, painting and engraving, etc. Literary London the
journal is published twice a year in March and September.
 
The Journal is mutually supportive of the annual conference of the same
name.
