Yet the first city of the British Empire is also decentered here, enmeshed by Joyce with Dublin through the place names, cartographies, and imperial history the two cities shared. Loukopoulou has written the atlas of their entanglement, a \u003ci\u003eLondub A to Z.\u003c\/i\u003e\"--\u003cb\u003ePaul K.

In \u003ci\u003eUp to Maughty London\u003c\/i\u003e, Eleni Loukopoulou offers the first sustained account of Joyce's engagement with the imperial metropolis. She considers both London's status as a matrix for political and cultural formations and how the city is reimagined in Joyce's work.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLoukopoulou examines newly discovered or largely neglected material, including newspaper and magazine articles, anthology contributions, radio broadcasts, sound recordings, and other writings published and unpublished. She also assesses the promotion of Joyce's work in London's literary marketplace. London emerges not just as a setting for his writings but as a key cultural and publishing vector for the composition and dissemination of his work.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eEleni Loukopoulou\u003c\/b\u003e is an independent scholar living in London.
