Uncovers the link between Ruskin and the tradition of the
aesthetics of space Discusses a hitherto under-researched tradition
of city-writing, linking Ruskin to modernism Reads comparatively
five important mid to late nineteenth-century writers Marries close
textual analysis with historically and geographically informed
context Fills a gap in the critical literature on city-writing
between realism and early modernism Charting an 'aesthetic',
post-realist tradition of writing, this book considers the
significant role played by John Ruskin's art criticism in later
writing which dealt with the new kinds of spaces encountered in the
nineteenth-century. With chapters devoted to the ways in which
aesthetic and decadent writers such as Walter Pater and Oscar Wilde
built upon and challenged Ruskin's ideas, the book links the late
Dickens to the early modernism of Henry James. The Aesthetics of
Space in Nineteenth-Century British Literature gives a vibrant
vision of what an aesthetically sensitive treatment of these spaces
looked like during the period.
