Professor Richard Dennis (with Phillip Mackintosh and Deryck Holdsworth) has co-edited and contributed two chapters to a newly published volume, Architectures of Hurry - Mobilities, Cities and Modernity (Routledge, 2018).

Meanwhile he maintains his enthusiasms for the London Underground, with papers on:

• Lighting the Underground, 1863-1914, in the latest issue of Histoire Urbaine.
• Bombs on the nineteenth-century Underground, for a May 18 Birkbeck conference on, ‘Going Underground: Design, Reputation, and Disorder in the Subterranean Infrastructure of the Global City’.

Richard’s devotion to studies of George Gissing has also hardly waned, with:

• A walking tour of Chelsea designed for The Gissing Journal,
• Contributions to a new book on Gissing's World within the World, a collection of essays on Gissing's novel Born in Exile,
• The keynote paper at a symposium on 29 May at the Institute of Historical Research on 'The City - Myth and Materiality'.
