![]() | Miniature Metropolis Subjects: Cities and towns in literature; City and town life in literature; European prose literature -- 20th century -- History and criticism; Feuilletons -- History and criticism; Literature and photography -- Europe; Modernism (Literature) -- Europe; In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Europe's modernizing metropolises offered a sensory experience unlike anything that had come before. Cities became laboratories bubbling with aesthetic experimentation in old and new media, and from this milieu emerged metropolitan miniatures--short prose pieces about the experiences of urban life written for European newspapers. Miniature Metropolis explores the history and theory of this significant but misrecognized achievement of literary modernism. |
