This book tells a story about the transformation of mid-Victorian
urban writing in response both to London's growing size and
diversity, and Britain's shifting global fortunes. Tanya
Agathocleous departs from customary understandings of realism,
modernism, and the transition between them, to show how a range of
writers throughout the nineteenth century - including William
Wordsworth, Charles Dickens, William Morris, Henry James, Arthur
Conan Doyle, and Joseph Conrad - explored the ethical, social and
political implications of globalization. Showcasing a variety of
different genres, Agathocleous uses the lens of cosmopolitan
realism - the literary techniques used to transform the city into
an image of the world - to explain how texts that seem glaringly
dissimilar actually emerged from the same historical concept, and
in doing so presents startlingly new ways of thinking about the
meaning and effect of cosmopolitanism.
