A Map of Literary London
Above is a map of all the locations referenced, visited, and mentioned that are located in London in the 5 works we have read this semester (A Journal of the Plague Year (Red), Oliver Twist (Green), The Waste Land (Yellow), Mrs. Dalloway (Blue), and Saturday (Purple)). For each time a place, street, or significant London monument was mentioned in these 5 texts, a color-coded button (corresponding to the novel) we placed a button on the map marking the location. The shaded regions correspond to the 5 most dense areas throughout London with respect to number of references per square kilometer. These "hot zones" are listed below in order of most dense to least dense:
