Dickens and Benjamin (eBook, ePUB)

Moments of Revelation, Fragments of Modernity

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Placing the works of Charles Dickens and Walter Benjamin in conversation with one another, Piggott argues that the two writers display a shared vision of modernity. Her analysis of their works shows that both writers demonstrate a decreased confidence in the capacity to experience truth or religious meaning in an increasingly materialist world and both occupy similar positions towards urban modernity and its effect on experience.
