5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful way to get to know Bohemian Chelsea, May 26 2000
By "jugadora" (Galveston, Texas) - See all my reviews
The neighbors of the title are all the famous and romantic people who lived in Chelsea, London from Thomas Carlyle, who was one of the first to move there, to the PreRaphaelites and Oscar Wilde. The research is superb, the relationships wonderfully done and while the book is more than this, it has the engaging readability of one of those family saga blockbusters. This, of course, is a literary novel and the authors are interested in revealing the characters, as they perceive them, of some of the most famous and influential people of the 19th century. This is a book to love and read over and over again!

4.0 out of 5 stars Disch does Carlyle, Aug 18 1999
By A Customer
If you buy this thinking that it's going to be science fiction, poetry, or horror or any of the other things that Disch excels in, you're wrong, but what you do have is an involved historical epic into the life of English figure and writer-Thomas Carlyle. You can smell the Thames off the pages.
