{"product_id":"9783030559601","title":"Time, the City, and the Literary Imagination (Literary Urban Studies)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eTime, the City, and the Literary Imagination\u003c\/i\u003e explores the relationship between the constructions and representations of the relationship between time and the city in literature published between the late eighteenth century and the present. This collection offers a new way of reading the literary city by tracing the ways in which the relationship between time and urban space can shape literary narratives and forms. The essays consider the representation of a range of literary cities from across the world and consider how an understanding of time, and time passing, can impact on our understanding of the primary texts. Literature necessarily deals with time, both as a function of storytelling and as an experience of reading. In this volume, the contributions demonstrate how literature about cities brings to the forefront the relationship between individual and communal experience and time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e Kaley Kramer and Anne-Marie Evans, Introduction.- Section 1: Time and Memory.- Adam James Smith, Nightmares and Cityscapes: Contradictory visions of the city in James Montgomery's York Prison Poetry (1795-1797).- Alice Levick, Memory and Grief in Urban Spaces: Marshall Berman, D.J.
