From Roman burial rites to the horrors of the plague, from the founding of the great Victorian cemeteries to the development of cremation & the current approach of metropolitan society towards death & bereavement -- including more recent trends to displays of collective grief & the cult of mourning, such as that surrounding the death of Diana, Princess of Wales -- NECROPOLIS: LONDON & ITS DEAD offers a vivid historical narrative of this great city`s attitude to going the way of all flesh. As layer upon layer of London soil reveals burials from pre-historic & medieval times, the city is revealed as one giant grave, filled with the remains of previous eras -- pagan, Roman, medieval, Victorian. This fascinating blend of archaeology, architecture & anecdote

Includes:: such phenomena as the rise of the undertaking trade & the pageantry of state funerals; public executions & bodysnatching. Ghoulishly entertaining & full of fascinating nuggets of information, Necropolis leaves no headstone unturned in its exploration of our changing attitudes to the deceased among us. Both anecdotal history & cultural commentary, Necropolis will take its place alongside classics of the city such as Peter Ackroyd`s LONDON.

Clive James` power as a poet has increased year by year, & there has been no stronger evidence for this than Nefertiti in the Flak Tower. Here, his polymathic learning & technical virtuosity are worn more lightly than ever; the effect is merely to produce a deep sense of trust into which the reader gratefully sinks, knowing they are in the presence of a master. The most obvious token of that mastery is the book`s breathtaking range of theme: there are moving elegies, a meditation on the later Yeats, a Hollywood Iliad, odes to rare orchids, wartime typewriters & sharks -- as well as a poem on the fate of Queen Nefertiti in Nazi Germany. But despite the dizzying variety, James` poetic intention becomes increasingly clear: what marks this new collection out is his intensified concentration on the individual poem as self-contained universe. Poetry is a practice he compares (in ` Numismatics`) to striking new coin; & Nefertiti in the Flak Tower is a treasure-chest of one-off marvels, with each poem a twin-sided, perfect human balance of the unashamedly joyous & the deadly serious, `whose play of light pays tribute to the dark`. Praise for Angels Over Elsinore: ` The new poems again apply faultless technique to subject matter that ranges in weight from helium to promethium.. . These poems are dazzling` Prospect ` There is a casually rich mix of cultural allusions, but the most important quality is complete clarity` Independent ...
