About this book
From the foot of Fleet Street, Gerald Stanley Lee sees a cathedral, railway engines and passing crowds as parts of one picture of modern life. His reflections on London streets open a work of social thought that connects democracy with machinery, religion, art and public opinion. Divided into five books, it considers how large groups think and how individual initiative might shape their common life.
Lee writes in a personal, image-filled voice, moving from the bustle of buses and taxis to arguments about the purposes of industry and the arts. An elevator becomes an example of technology spreading conveniences once enjoyed by a few. He also asks how people can seek goodness and beauty within institutions that seem to control their choices.
