EccentriCities: Writing in the margins of Modernism (eBook, ePUB)

St. Petersburg to Rio de Janeiro

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book critically considers how geo-historically distant and disparate urban sites give rise to peculiarly parallel polyphonic fictional forms. It redefines new constellations (eccentric, concentric, ex-centric) for understanding geo-cultural and generic dimensions of modernist and post-modern literature and theory.
