Time–geography, gentlemen, please: chronotopes of publand in Patrick Hamilton’s London trilogy

Abstract: This paper considers the time and the place of drinking in modern British life, as represented in Patrick Hamilton's trilogy of novels set in the publand of London's West End in the interwar years, through Mikhail Bakhtin's concept of the chronotope and with critical nods to Hagerstrand's time -geography corpus. The chronotopes of pubs and their neighbourhoods, which we term 'publand', are discussed initially in their novelistic presentation in Twenty Thousand Streets Under the Sky (1935), and then in relation… Show more

“…The familiar cry of 'last orders' is a regularised reminder of the role of time in alcohol regulation (Howell & Beckingham, 2015). Use the case of one particularly distinctive licensing innovation, I have sought to argue for greater scrutiny of the more subtle ways in which time codes the experience and regulation of different types of licensed premises and problem behaviours (Valverde, 2015).…”

“…Read in this way, she argues, the pub is 'both a space and a time in which it is permissible to engage in an activity (selling beer) that would be illegal in another space (a park) or another time (after last call)' (Valverde, 2003, p. 148 (fn) and p. 149). Following Valverde's assessment of licensing as a 'time, place and manner' form of regulation, I will argue that the decision of Glasgow's Edwardian magistrates to ban barmaids was enacted through a consideration of the particularity of that 'pub' chronotope, a space marked by distinctive temporalities (Howell & Beckingham, 2015). And the management of temporality, I will suggest, was and remains of vital significance in the impress of licensing's spatial geographies on urban work and leisure culture.…”
