New York City's streets, parks, museums, architecture, and its
people appear in an array of literary works published from New
York's earliest settlement to the present day. The exploration of
the city as both a symbol and as a reality has formed the basis of
New York's literature. Using the themes of adaptation, innovation,
identity, and hope, this history explores novels, poetry,
periodicals, and newspapers to examine how New York's literature
can be understood through the notion of movement. From the
periodicals of the nineteenth century, the Arabic writers of the
city in the early twentieth century, the literature of
homelessness, childhood, and the spaces of tragedy and resilience
within the metropolis, this diverse assessment opens up new areas
of research within urban literature. It provides an innovative
examination of how writing has shaped the lives of New Yorkers and
how writing about the city has shaped the modern world.
