Often this theme is explored through the city's artists, especially its writers: Oscar Wilde in The Last Testament of Oscar Wilde (1983) , a fake autobiography of Wilde; Nicholas Hawksmoor, Sir Christopher Wren and Sir John Vanbrugh in Hawksmoor (1985) ; Thomas Chatterton and George Meredith in Chatterton (1987) ; John Dee in The House of Dr Dee (1993) ; Dan Leno, Karl Marx, George Gissing and Thomas De Quincey in Dan Leno and the Limehouse Golem (1994) ; John Milton in Milton in America (1996) ; Charles Lamb in The Lambs of London."
