Modernism, Space and the City
0 - Default Title
Description
This innovative book examines the development of modernist writing in four European cities: London, Paris, Berlin and Vienna. 'Focusing on how literary outsiders represented various spaces in these cities, it draws upon contemporary theories of affect and literary geography to offer an original account of the geographical emotions of modernism. Particular attention is given to the transnational qualities of modernist writing by examining writers whose view of the cities considered is that of migrants, exiles or strangers, including Mulk Raj Anand, Bryher, Blaise Cendrars, Joseph Conrad, T. S. Eliot, Christopher Isherwood, Hope Mirrlees, Noami Mitchison, Jean Rhys, Sam Selvon and Stephen Spender.
Andrew Thacker is Professor of Twentieth-Century Literature at Nottingham Trent University.
