{"product_id":"invisible-architecture-in-nineteenth-century-literature-ben-moore-9781399508490","title":"Invisible Architecture in Nineteenth-Century Literature: Rethinking Urban Modernity","description":"Ben Moore presents a new approach to reading urban modernity in nineteenth-century literature, by bringing together hidden, mobile and transparent features of city space as part of a single system he calls 'invisible architecture'. Resisting narratives of the nineteenth-century as progressing from concealment to transparency, he instead argues for a dynamic interaction between these tendencies. Across two parts, this book addresses a range of apparently disparate buildings and spaces. Part I offers new readings of three writers and their cities: Elizabeth Gaskell and Manchester, Charles Dickens and London, and Émile Zola and Paris, focusing on the cellar-dwelling, the railway and river, and the department store respectively. Part II takes a broader view by analysing three spatial forms that have not usually been considered features of nineteenth-century modernity: the Gothic cathedral, the arabesque and white walls. Through these readings, the book extends our understanding of the uneven modernity of this period.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ben Moore\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1399508490\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781399508490\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.87lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.58d","brand":"Ben Moore","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48065534984447,"sku":"9781399508490","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0138b002-5f2e-490f-8e0b-305d222aa485.jpg?v=1768675602","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/invisible-architecture-in-nineteenth-century-literature-ben-moore-9781399508490","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
