Lud Heat, a great fusion of prose and verse, is an exploration of a contemporary city and the historical and mythical patterns that it hides. The churches of Nicholas Hawksmoor, built to a strange plan in a London ravaged by fire and plague, are the sites of mystery and energy that animate this masterpiece of post-war English literature. This edition also includes Sinclair's remarkable series of texts on the mythology of myth and place, Suicide Bridge.
