本章将探讨伦敦西区作为文化和智力资本形成的场所。伦敦西区的这一维度与高雅艺术和文化的建设有关。这一章着眼于绘画，音乐，文学和新闻界。每一个以不同的方式都是一个蓬勃发展的创意产业，展示了伦敦西区如何利用艺术和智力工作来推动经济。艺术界发展了一个广泛的画廊网络，特别是在邦德街周围。圣詹姆斯音乐厅的建立促进了音乐会世界的发展，使古典音乐更广泛地传播，而科旺花园的皇家歌剧院越来越多地取代女王陛下剧院成为歌剧世界的中心。吉尔伯特和沙利文的出现表明了该地区如何成为新音乐形式的发源地。斯特兰德地区反过来成为文学知识分子网络建设的主要场所。艺术、音乐和新闻之间的重叠、对比和并列赋予了伦敦西区独特的个性。
This chapter examines the West End as a place for the formation of cultural and intellectual capital. This dimension to the West End was associated with the construction of high art and culture. The chapter looks at painting, music, and the literary and journalistic worlds. Each in their different way was a flourishing creative industry, demonstrating how the West End could employ art and intellectual work to propel the economy. The art world developed an extensive network of galleries particularly around Bond Street. The concert world was boosted by the creation of the St James’s Hall which made classical music more widely available while the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden increasingly displaced Her Majesty’s Theatre as the centre of the operatic world. The emergence of Gilbert and Sullivan showed how the district could be the site of new musical forms. The Strand area in turn became a major site for the construction of networks among the literary intelligentsia. The overlays, contrasts, and juxtapositions between art, music, and journalism was what gave the West End its character.
