This book is about the impact of literature upon cities world-wide,
and cities upon literature. It examines why the city matters so
much to contemporary critical theory, and why it has inspired so
many forms of writing which have attempted to deal with its
challenges to think about it and to represent it. Gathering
together 40 contributors who look at different modes of writing and
film-making in throughout the world, this handbook asks how the
modern city has engendered so much theoretical consideration, and
looks at cities and their literature from China to Peru, from New
York to Paris, from London to Kinshasa. It looks at some of the
ways in which modern cities - whether capitals, shanty-towns,
industrial or 'rust-belt' - have forced themselves on people's ways
of thinking and writing.
