Literature and the Peripheral City de L. Ameel

Literature and the Peripheral City

Editat de L. Ameel Autor Jason Finch, Markku Salmela
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 27 mai 2015
Cities have always been defined by their centrality. But literature demonstrates that their diverse peripheries define them, too: from suburbs to slums, rubbish dumps to nightclubs and entire failed cities. The contributors to this collection explore literary urban peripheries through readings of literature from four continents and numerous cities.
