New York : A Literary History Hardback
Edited by Ross (University of Nottingham) Wilson
Hardback
- Information
Description
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.
