Description
Literary Urban Studies and How to Practice It is a foundational textbook that explores this exciting field of study. Since the humanities' 'spatial turn' in the 1990s and 2000s, literary urban studies has grown significantly, and this book is its first comprehensive introduction.
The volume delves into city literature, urban methods of reading, classics in the field, and new directions in LUS. It examines the located qualities of literary narratives, texts, and events through three units, covering topics such as the concept of the city, historical notions of place, and literary urban modes.
With structured highlighting, reflection questions, and tasks labelled 'Research It', this book aids reference and learning, enabling readers to engage with neighbouring disciplines like human geography, cultural history, sociology, and urban studies. A thorough glossary of key terms and concepts supports the reader in their exploration of LUS.
