Lost in the American City: Dickens, James, and Kafka
Lost in the American City Dickens James and Kafka
Author: Jeremy Tambling
Jeremy Tambling looks at European-formed reactions to America and American cities in the 19th century. Dickens visited America in 1842 and his American Notes and Martin Chuzzlewit set the agenda for future discussions of America. Tambling looks at the Dickens legacy through Henry James in The American Scene, through H.G. Wells in The F...  more », and through Kafka in The Man Who Was Never Heard of Again. Lost in the American City explores the changes in American 19th century urban culture which made America so different and so impossible to map, and which made American modernity so unreadable and challenging.
