伦敦雾：一部演变史
(uk) Christina Cotton
London, England, is known as the "Fog City". The typical "London fog" appeared in the industrial era in the early 19th century and was the first globally "famous" case of air pollution. It didn't end until the passage of the Clean Air Act in the 1960s. In the book, Cotton describes the "beauty" and dangers of the London Fog, as well as its lasting impact on culture and people's perceptions. The London Fog transformed city life, blurring moral and social boundaries. And it has also become a "gift" for artists, appearing in the works of writers such as Charles Dickens and Henry James, as well as in the paintings of painters such as Whistler and Monet. The author combines the sensitivity of history and literature to try to show readers the "London Fog", a peculiar urban scene in the industrial era.
