Description

This collection of essays offers glimpses of "the city", both material and mental, as it appears in films, novels, photographs, poems, architecture, essays, stagings and journals. Created by man, the city magnifies man's imperfections and reflects humanity's hopes, fears, dreams and despairs. The book moves from historical and concrete perspectives of New York, Paris, London and Chicago to the abstract city of the mind. The works of Woolf, Blake, James, Wordsworth and Baudelaire, among others, are analyzed for their characterization of the city in their writings. The book is intended for professors and students of comparative literature, English, sociology, and film and art history.
