Overview
- Argues that the novel had a powerful role in mediating this physical location to a geographically dispersed readership, and that this particular site had a material impact on the development of the novel
- Explores how paying close attention to literary geography can reorient understanding not only of a place in time, but also of the history of fiction
- Reveals connections between texts usually thought of as separate by assembling together canonical and non-canonical fiction set in the Bloomsbury area
Part of the book series: Palgrave Studies in Nineteenth-Century Writing and Culture (PNWC)

About this book
Reviews
“The book succeeds at providing a truly new interpretation of an area that has been mainly associated with Modernist literature. It presents the first thorough investigation of the neighbourhood’s change over time, unearthing its unprecedented shifts in the domains of literature, culture, economy and society.” (BAVS Newsletter, Vol. 19 (3), 2019)
