...Club ( 1830–2 ). All these were London buildings, and indeed the war's end returned the capital to national preeminence in royal, public, and ecclesiastical architecture.

...easily distracted crowd will quickly understand and find novel and entertaining. Given these requirements, it is not surprising that the Academy walls filled up with portraits of contemporary celebrities, aristocratic beauties, and civic worthies, and with anecdotal genre-pieces, exotic landscapes, sentimental animal paintings, and gaudy still lifes. These are pictures designed to catch, and momentarily to hold, a succession of glances from a wide array of visitors, rather than be scoured by the eyes of a sophisticate.

...The British experience of towns has been unusual in a west European context, and its distinctive nature has coloured national attitudes down to the present day, as well as complicating the researches of local and family historians. Town life was an exotic importation from the Continent, both in Roman and in medieval times. Until the 18th century most British towns were small by Continental standards, and until the 19th century the majority of Britons still lived in rural settlements. Yet Britain then became the first country in the world to urbanize,...

.... 5. Novel. The late first century also sees the growth in popularity of a less pretentious narrative genre, the Greek novel, and it has been suggested that Acts is a form of novel. Certainly many readers unaccustomed to biblical narrative might take the book as a novel, with its exotic settings, adventurous plot, framework of travel, and explicit religious ideology. Luke shows some inclination to novelistic narrative techniques in the elaboration of his more dramatic scenes (cf. e.g. acts 12:6–11 ), and the novel throws valuable light on Luke's narrative...
