| Event Name: | Reading London |
| Description: | How do we attempt to understand the sprawling modern Babylon that is London, with its layers of social, political and cultural history? Can art, architecture and literature help us to read this complex city?
Rosemary Ashton is Quain Professor of English Language and Literature at UCL, and the lead investigator of a 3-year Leverhulme funded research project studying the growth of Bloomsbury from swampy waste land to Londons intellectual and cultural centre.
