"Architecture and Modern Literature" explores the representation
and interpretation of architectural space in modern literature from
the early nineteenth century to the present, with the aim of
showing how literary production and architectural construction are
related as cultural forms in the historical context of modernity.
In addressing this subject, it also examines the larger questions
of the relation between literature and architecture and the extent
to which these two arts define one another in the social and
philosophical contexts of modernity. "Architecture and Modern
Literature" will serve as a foundational introduction to the
emerging interdisciplinary study of architecture and literature.
David Spurr addresses a broad range of material, including
literary, critical, and philosophical works in English, French, and
German, and proposes a new historical and theoretical overview of
this area, in which modern forms of "meaning" in architecture and
literature are related to the discourses of being, dwelling, and
homelessness.
