Excellent- More about Modernism, Space and the City: Outsiders and Affect in Paris, Vienna, Berlin
The book explores the role of cities in the construction of modernism, focusing on four European cities and the perspectives of literary outsiders. It draws on affect theory and literary geography to examine the transnational qualities of modernist writing, including the works of Mulk Raj Anand, Blaise Cendrars, Bryher, Joseph Conrad, T. S. Eliot, Christopher Isherwood, Hope Mirrlees, Naomi Mitchison, Jean Rhys, Sam Selvon, and Stephen Spender. It is the first book to bring these cities together and analyze modernism through affect theory and literary geography.

The city has played a crucial role in the construction of modernism, and this innovative book explores its development in four European cities: London, Paris, Berlin, and Vienna. By 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, Naomi Mitchison, Jean Rhys, Sam Selvon, and Stephen Spender.
Key Features:
The first book in modernist studies to bring detailed discussion of these four cities together.
Breaks new ground in being the first book to bring affect theory and literary geography together in order to analyse modernism.
An extensive range of authors is analysed, from the canonical to the previously marginal.
Situates the literary and filmic texts within the context of urban spaces and cultural institutions.
