| Zusammenfassung: | "The history of cities is also the history of city squares. The agora, the forum, the piazza, the plaza: all presuppose the idea of a center. It's a material and mental phenomenon. Literature is an important part of this history, and the interplay between the square as physical space and the square as literature is the topic of this book. This is an encyclopaedic book combining an overview of the history of city squares with a plethora of analytical examples of its reflection in literature: Literature uses the city square as frame; city squares serve as frames for drama; novels and other kinds of literature comment on city squares; city squares are sources of inspiration to all sorts of literary activities. Socrates in the agora, Cicero in the Forum, Calderón in the Plaza Mayor, Corneille in the Place Royale, Richardson in Grosvenor Square, James in Washington Square, Woolf in Bloomsbury Square, Döblin and Gröschner in Alexanderplatz,Rodoreda in Diamond Square in Barcelona, Delillo in Times Square, Al Aswany in Tahrir Square, the maidanistas in the Maidan of Kyiv: These are just some of the examples presented and analysed in this book. The book is of direct interest for researchers, students, and professionals such as architects and urban planners, but it is written in a way that makes it accessible for all readers with an interest in urban culture, architecture, history, literature and cultural studies"-- |
