Focusing on how literary outsiders represented various spaces in these cities, it draws upon contemporary theories of affect and literary geography. Particular attention is given to the transnational qualities of modernist writing by examining writers whose view of the cities considered is that of migrants, exiles or strangers, including Mulk Raj Anand, Blaise Cendrars, Bryher, Joseph Conrad, T. S. Eliot, Christopher Isherwood, Hope Mirrlees, Noami Mitchison, Jean Rhys, Sam Selvon and Stephen Spender.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe first book in modernist studies to bring detailed discussion of these four cities together\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBreaks new ground in being the first book to bring affect theory and literary geography together in order to analyse modernism\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAn extensive range of authors is analysed, from the canonical to the previously marginal\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSituates the literary and filmic texts within the context of urban spaces and cultural institutions \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrew Thacker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0748633480\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780748633487\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 11\/03\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.57d","brand":"Andrew Thacker","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43982863040767,"sku":"9780748633487","price":36.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_094c205c-3537-41ac-bee6-50890b0cbe93.jpg?v=1683263411","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/modernism-space-and-the-city-andrew-thacker-9780748633487","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
