In Lost in the American City , Jeremy Tambling looks at European
reactions to America and American cities in the nineteenth-century.
Dickens visited America in 1842 and his American Notes and Martin
Chuzzlewit set the agenda for future discussions of America. Lost
in the American City looks at the Dickens legacy through Henry
James in The American Scene , through H.G. Wells in The Future in
America , and through Kafka, whose novel America (or The Man Who
Was Never Heard of Again ) tried to re-write Dickens. Lost in the
American City explores the changes in American nineteenth century
urban culture which made America so different and so impossible to
map for the European, and which made American modernity so
unreadable and challenging.
