Rome, Postmodern Narratives of a Cityscape (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Until the mid-twentieth century the Western imagination seemed intent on viewing Rome purely in terms of its classical past or as a stop on the Grand Tour. This collection of essays looks at Rome from a postmodern perspective, including analysis of the city's 'unmappability', its fragmented narratives and its iconic status in literature and film.
