Abstract

In 2018, 55% of the global population lived in cities; by 2050, this figure is predicted to rise to 68% (UNESCO 2018, https://​www.​un.​org/​development/​desa/​publications/​2018-revision-of-world-urbanization-prospects.​html). This increase might suggest that urban experience is a contemporary concern; a history of literature, however, suggests that, at least imaginatively, narratives have focused on cities for centuries. This collection seeks to develop and build on existing scholarship, exploring how literature structures and is structured by temporal experiences of urban spaces. Focusing on memory, motion, melancholy, and the material conditions of the city, this introduction sets out key critical figures and debates on the representation of the urban in literature.
