Review

“The topic of the city remains one of the most enduring and important ones for literary study. Robert Alter’s Imagined Cities makes a fresh and always interesting contribution to this topic.”—Philip Fisher, Harvard University

“Those who think Mumford and LeCorbusier are our great urban visionaries have another think coming. As Robert Alter’s Imagined Cities demonstrates so compellingly, the great 19th century novelists—Flaubert, Dickens, Joyce—saw and imagined our cities with a brilliance few others can approach.”—Douglas Rae, author of City: Urbanism and its End

Book Description

One of our most respected literary critics investigates the ways that runaway growth of urban centers in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries irrevocably altered the Western imagination. In sensitive interpretations of novels by Flaubert, Dickens, Woolf, Kafka, and others, Robert Alter probes the responses of writers to the new reality of the modern city.
