What is London?

London functions as a subject of study across a wide range of disciplines, including literature, history, urban studies, business, and the social sciences. Its long history as a global capital makes it a productive lens for examining how cities develop culturally, politically, and economically over time. Students in world studies courses are drawn to London because it sits at the intersection of so many academic conversations — empire, modernization, social inequality, artistic production, and governance — making it possible to approach the city from almost any analytical direction.

The papers gathered here reflect that diversity. Some take a literary approach, examining how writers such as Charles Dickens, John Milton, and Andrea Levy represent London and its society in their work, while others use the city as a backdrop for historical analysis, including the impact of World War One. Additional essays focus on business figures like David Ogilvy and architects like Robert Adam, treating London as a professional and creative environment. Still others engage policy and public health questions, analyzing issues such as flood defense planning and health care, which grounds the city in contemporary civic challenges.

A strong essay on London benefits from a clearly scoped thesis that commits to one dimension of the city — literary, historical, architectural, or policy-driven — rather than attempting a broad survey. Evidence drawn from primary sources, whether a novel, a historical event, or a case study of a company or institution, carries the most analytical weight. The most common pitfall is treating London as mere setting rather than as an active force that shapes the people, texts, and systems being examined.

English language teaching in the outer and expanding circles

Introduction The 2001 maven conference bore testimony to the growth of interest in E W L' over the past few decades. In the years between ? the first major academic gathering on this subject, the seminal conference on cross-cultural communication held at the University of Illinois in 1978 (Kachru 1992), and MAVEN 2001, much has been written and spoken about the spread of English around the world, the diverse ways in which the language has developed in this process, especially in the Outer Circle,2 and about the wider implications of this unique socio- linguistic development. Crystal (2003) lists 75 territories in which English is currently spoken as either a) the principal or only L1, or b) as an L2 with official or institutionalized status (World Englishes). These range from Antigua to Zambia, spread across vast distances and exceptionally varied linguacultural contexts. Among these implications, the issue of the ownership of English and its passing from native to non-native speakers has received considerable comment. Graddol typically points out that ?native speakers may feel the language `belongs' to them, but it will be those who speak English as a second or foreign language who will determine its world future? (1997: 10).
