The Mysteries of Paris and London - Richard Maxwell - Bog

Bag om The Mysteries of Paris and London

This study uses 19th-century urban fiction - in particular the novels of Hugo and Dickens - to define a genre: the novel of urban mysteries. He argues that within these extravagant but fact-obsessed narratives the archaic form of allegory became a means for understanding modern cities.
