The City in Literature: An Intellectual and Cultural History
Richard Lehan
This sweeping literary encounter with the Western idea of the city moves from the early novel in England to the apocalyptic cityscapes of Thomas Pynchon. Throughout the book author Richard Lehan pursues a dialectic of order and disorder, hope and despair, optimism and pessimism. 9 illustrations.
