Description
  • Unlike the two subsequent novels, The Last Testament of Oscar Wilde (1983) and Hawksmoor (1985), Peter Ackroyd's first novel, The Great Fire of London (1982), was not published to high critical acclaim. However, the novel establishes its author's concept of his fictional London, which focuses primarily on the city's unofficial, off-the-record history. The aim of this article is to demonstrate that although it is a seemingly unambitious work and a relatively raw text, especially due to its explicit treatment of the theme of male homosexuality and the story's bleak ending, The Great Fire of London can be understood as a kind of a %22proto-text%22 containing all the major defining aspects of its author's fictional city, which are explored in more in-depth ways in his later, more mature London novels.
