Literary Capitals in the Long Nineteenth Century : Spaces beyond the Centres Paperback / softback
Edited by Arunima Bhattacharya, Richard Hibbitt, Laura Scuriatti
Part of the Literary Urban Studies series
Paperback / softback
Description
This book develops our understanding of the global literary field in the long nineteenth century by discussing nine different places outside the established metropoles.
It shows how different economic, geographical and political factors combined to give each place its own distinctive literary culture and symbolic capital.
Taking a geocritical approach, the book shows how its different case studies can be seen as ‘literary capitals’ in terms of their role within the wider nation, region or empire.
The volume is divided into three parts. Part One discusses Kolkata, Hong Kong and Buenos Aires.
Part Two considers ‘semi-peripheral’ European cities: Pest-Buda (Budapest), Helsinki and Dublin.
Part Three focuses on cities within Italy: Trieste, Florence and Rome.
Drawing on a wide range of literary texts and different genres, the book reads the nineteenth-century literary field as a constellation where different connections can be plotted across various points on the map at different times.
