At the turn of the last century the public culture of Europe's
cities underwent a transformation that changed both gender
relations and European fiction. Masculinities, modernist fiction
and the urban public sphere charts the changing representations of
masculinity in modernist fiction in the context of the four most
influential cities -- London, Dublin, Paris and Prague. It explores
the rise of new masculinities in response to the New Woman at the
end of the nineteenth century; how eating and drinking in the city
were developed; and discusses the importance of teashops, cafes and
restaurants to the emergence of a new literary culture at the turn
of the century. Authors discussed include George Gissing, Dorothy
Richardson, James Joyce and Franz Kafka. It combines urban cultural
history, gender studies and critical theory to produce a startling
account of the encounters that took place in the new spaces of the
city and the literary forms to which they gave rise. It will be of
interest to all those interested in modernist fiction, but equally
to cultural historians and those working in gender and urban
studies. -- .
