Author Biography

Allison Muri's research focuses on digital studies and the literary topographies of 18th-century London. She is the Director and Designer of the Grub Street Project, a digital edition (in progress) of 18th-century London that maps book trades and other trades, people, events, and representations of the city in print. It uses "zoomified" 17th- and 18th-century maps of the city to visualize these relationships, mapped to an extensive database of early modern London.
