What is Of Maps and Moles: Cultural Negotiations with the London Tube about?
In the twentieth century, cultural encounters with the metropolis have often met with difficulties when trying to map or visualize the complexity and vastness of the modern city. Drawing on a range of textual and some pictorial examples, from mid-Victorian times to the threshold of the new millennium, this paper argues that the underground system of the London tube may offer ways to address this problem. Because of the widely different and often ambivalent attitudes towards the experience of underground transport, the London tube emerges as a central space for cultural and critical engagements with the project of modernity.
