Ann Tso argues these authors write London \"psychogeographically\" to deconstruct popular visions of London with colonial and neoliberal undertones. Moore's psychogeography consists of bird's-eye views that reveal the brute force threatening to unravel Londonscape from within; Ackroyd's aims to detect London sensuously, since every new awareness recalls an otherworldly London; Sinclair's conjures up a narrative consciousness made erratic by London's disunified landscape. Drawing together the dystopian, the phenomenological, and the postcolonial, Tso explores how these texts characterize \"London-ness\" as estranging.§§ §04§Chapter 1\/ Infinite London: the London-ness of London.- Chapter 2\/ The Disintegration of London in Alan Moore's Psychogeography.- Chapter 3\/ Peter Ackroyd's Sensuous Detective Method in Hawksmoor .- Chapter 4\/ Writing Psychogeography, Writing London through a Screen Darkly: White Chappell, Scarlet Tracings .- Chapter 5\/ London-ness: a Marriage of the Literary and the Psychogeographical. §02§Ann Tso is Instructor of English at Lethbridge College, Canada.
