This book focuses on literal and metaphorical ruins, as they are
appropriated and imagined in different forms of writing. Examining
British and American literature and culture in the nineteenth and
twentieth centuries, the book begins in the era of industrial
modernity with studies of Charles Dickens, Thomas Hardy, Henry
James and Daphne Du Maurier. It then moves on to the significance
of ruins in the twentieth century, against the backdrop of
conflict, waste and destruction, analyzing authors such as Beckett
and Pinter, Kurt Vonnegut, Robert Lowell, Anne Sexton and Leonard
Cohen. The collection concludes with current debates on ruins,
through discussions of Walter Benjamin and Bertolt Brecht, as well
as reflections on the refugee crisis that take the ruin beyond the
text, offering new perspectives on its diverse legacies and
conceptual resources.
