Description

This Routledge academic study examines how British novelists since the 1950s have represented London through spatial politics, treating architecture and the body as interconnected forces that shape literary meaning. The author investigates the city's boundaries, abstract spaces, and natural microcosms as expressions of conflicting identity realms, whilst exploring how interstices and ruins become inhabited spaces where bodies mirror external conditions of political and social struggle. The analysis treats spatial representation as an embodied practice, revealing how the architectural landscape functions as more than mere setting but as an active agent in shaping character, narrative, and social commentary. This work contributes to literary theory and criticism by demonstrating how contemporary London literature engages with the material and symbolic dimensions of urban space, offering readers a sophisticated framework for understanding the relationship between place, body, and identity in modern British fiction.
