Which of the following authors wrote about the city of London?

1. Charles Dickens

2. Thomas Hardy

3. William Wordsworth

4. W.B. Yeats

The correct answer is: Charles Dickens

Charles Dickens is the correct answer because he is known for his works depicting the poverty and harsh realities of London during the Victorian era. While all of the other authors are renowned for their literary works, none of them specifically wrote about the city of London in their works. Thomas Hardy wrote about the English countryside, William Wordsworth focused on nature and romanticism, and W.B. Yeats primarily wrote about Irish mythology and folklore. Therefore, Charles Dickens is the only author listed who wrote about the city of London, making him the correct answer.
