The might and glory of the city celebrated - London's theatricality in Peter Ackroyd's The Clerkenwell Tales

Original language description

Together with intertextuality, criminality, occultism and psychogeography, theatre culture and urban theatricality represent a crucial cornerstone of Peter Ackroyd's conception of London. The motif or theme of theatricality appears in all his London novels, most notably in Dan Leno and the Limehouse Golem (1994), as well as in his major theoretical works on London history and the development of English literary sensibility. The aim of this article is to demonstrate how his novel The Clerkenwell Tales (2003), through its multiple plots and a miscellaneous cast of characters in the best Chaucerian tradition, portrays and vivifies various theatrical aspects of medieval London and its life.
