Routledge - The Materiality of Literary Narratives in Urban History

The Materiality of Literary Narratives in Urban History offers a fresh perspective on how written texts function within the study of cities. Part of the Routledge Advances in Urban History series, this volume examines literary works as both material objects and reflections of urban environments. By exploring a wide range of geographical and cultural contexts, the book provides a deep look at how narratives interact with the physical world. Readers will encounter the concept of materiality in/of literature, which examines how stories refer to the material world while simultaneously participating in its construction. This approach allows for a more complete understanding of urban history through the lens of literature. This book is an essential resource for those studying the connections between text, physical space, and the development of urban landscapes across different global settings.
