The paper explains how this came about, and asks what it means for our understanding of the English city.</div> &nbsp;</div> <b>John Beckett </b>is Professor of English Regional History at The University of Nottingham.</div> &nbsp;</div> NB : This recording may be streamed via your web browser or opened in iTunes.</div> &nbsp;</div> See also recordings of the other conference sessions:</div> Ideas of the metropolis</a></div> Cities and peripheries</a></div> Imagining the East End in literature and social survey, 1880-1990</a></div> Imagining low life before the East End's invention, c. 1780s to 1840s</a></div> Multicultural London: Past, present and future.
