{"product_id":"nightwalking-matthew-beaumont","title":"Nightwalking (Matthew Beaumont)","description":"\u003cdiv\u003eIn this brilliant work of literary investigation, Matthew Beaumont shines a light on the shadowy perambulations of poets, novelists and thinkers: the fetid, treacherous streets known to Chaucer and Shakespeare; William Blake and his ecstatic peregrinations; the feverish ramblings of opium addict Thomas De Quincey; and, among the lamp-lit literary throng, the supreme nightwalker Charles Dickens. We discover how the nocturnal city has inspired some and served as a balm or narcotic to others. In each case, the city is revealed as a place divided between work and pleasure, the affluent and the indigent, where the entitled and the desperate rub shoulders.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAutorenportrait\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMatthew Beaumont\u003c\/b\u003e, a Professor of English Literature at University College London, is the author of several books for Verso, including \u003ci\u003eNightwalking: A Nocturnal History of London\u003c\/i\u003e (2015), \u003ci\u003eThe Walker: On Finding and Losing Yourself in the Modern City\u003c\/i\u003e (2020) and \u003ci\u003eHow We Walk: Frantz Fanon and the Politics of the Body\u003c\/i\u003e (forthcoming, 2024).
