Book Descriptions:
This collection of essays emerges from a two-day international conference held at the University of Northampton, UK. It contains the best of the papers presented by 45 delegates from 12 countries (UK, India, USA, Canada, Italy, France, Ireland, Australia, Romania, Japan, Germany, Portugal) involving both established academics and new scholars. The collection is divided into three parts. Part 1: 'Medieval and Early-Modern Cities: Performance and Poetry', Part 2: 'Defining Urban Space: the Metropolis and the Provincial', and Part 3: 'Modern and Postmodern Cities: Marginal Urban Identities'. The chapters explore the nature of the modern city in literature, history, film and culture from its origins in the early-modern period to postmodern dislocations and considers the city as a context within which literature is created, structured, and inspired, and as a space within which distinct voices and genres emerge. Much interest has developed recently on the city and its contexts but there is a tendency to focus on London (for example there is the journal Literary London: Interdisciplinary Studies in the Representation of London and the annual Literary London Conference, a major conference that has run since 2002). This collection fills an important gap in the market by having a truly global focus.
