The Urban Fantastic in Nineteenth-Century European Literature
explores transnational perspectives of modern city life in Europe
by engaging with the fantastic tropes and metaphors used by writers
of short fiction. Focusing on the literary city and literary
representations of urban experience throughout the nineteenth
century, the works discussed incorporate supernatural occurrences
in a European city and the supernatural of these stories stems from
and belongs to the city. The argument is structured around three
primary themes. "Architectures", "Encounters" and "Rhythms" make
reference to three axes of city life: material space, human
encounters, and movement. This thematic approach highlights
cultural continuities and thus supports the use of the label of
"urban fantastic" within and across the European traditions studied
here.
