- Double-weighted statement
- This book covers an extensive body of material across 8 case studies in order to investigate the construction of intra-Western urban modernities over an expansive time frame. The book’s development involved a novel bridging of the theoretical vistas of literary and spatial theory with cultural geography to position travel writing as an agent active in the production of urban imaginaries. It analyses lesser-known texts by major as well as minor writers, includes an extensive bibliography for the emergent urban humanities, and brings together international archival research conducted over a 6-year time span in London, Paris and New York.
