ROME, POSTMODERN NARRATIVES OF A CITY SCAPE - PICKERING & CHATTO 2013


DON HOLDAWAY, FILIPPO TRENTIN (eds.)
ROME, POSTMODERN NARRATIVES OF A CITY SCAPE
Pickering & Chatto
(May 31, 2013)

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.
