Neo Victorian Cities Reassessing Urban P - Tapa blanda

Nineteenth-century metropolises continue to actively haunt present-day cityscapes, informing our kaleidoscopic engagements with postmodern urbanity in aesthetic, affective, and cognitive as well as physical and sensual terms. This volume explores the complex forms of urban representation in neo-Victorian practice.

Marie-Luise Kohlke lectures in English Literature at Swansea University, Wales, UK, with main research foci in neo-Victorianism, trauma narrative and theory, and gender and sexuality. She is the General and Founding Editor of the peer-reviewed e-journal Neo-Victorian Studies and Series Co-Editor (with Christian Gutleben) of Rodopi’s Neo-Victorian Series.

Christian Gutleben is Professor at the University of Nice-Sophia Antipolis, France, where he teaches nineteenth- and twentieth-century British literature. His research focuses on the links between these two historical periods and traditions, and he is the author of one of the earliest critical surveys of neo-Victorian literature, Nostalgic Postmodernism: The Victorian Tradition and the Contemporary British Novel (Rodopi, 2001), as well as co-editor (with Susana Onega) of Refracting the Canon in Contemporary British Literature and Film (Rodopi, 2004).
