Description

Writing the City by Desmond Harding challenges the traditional transatlantic axis of urban modernism centred on London, Paris and New York, instead examining how other metropolitan centres have shaped modern urban identities and cultural discourse. Harding argues that James Joyce's internationalist vision of Dublin reconceives the modern city as a moral phenomenon through transcultural and transhistorical perspectives. By analysing the works of both Joyce and John Dos Passos, this Routledge literary criticism volume explores how these authors contributed to reshaping urban modernist thought and practice beyond established canonical narratives, offering readers fresh insights into how metropolitan life has been imagined and represented in literary modernism.

Key Features

Examines urban modernism beyond the traditional London-Paris-New York axis to include other significant metropolitan centres.

Analyses James Joyce's internationalist vision of Dublin as a moral phenomenon in transcultural and transhistorical terms.

Investigates the literary contributions of both Joyce and John Dos Passos to modern urban discourse.

Published by Routledge as part of their Literary Criticism and Cultural Theory series for academic study.
