520    A literary investigation of how the modern metropolis--
       intoxicating, disturbing, powerful--changed perceptions 
       and irrevocably altered the Western imagination.  Alter 
       traces the arc of literary development triggered by the 
       runaway growth of urban centers from the early nineteenth 
       century through the first two decades of the twentieth. As
       new technologies and arrangements of public and private 
       space changed the ways people experienced time and space, 
       the urban panorama became less coherent--a metropolis 
       defying traditional representation and definition, a vast 
       jumble of shifting fragments and glimpses--and writers 
       were compelled to create new methods for conveying the 
       experience of the city.  In interpretations of novels by 
       Flaubert, Dickens, Bely, Woolf, Joyce, and Kafka, Alter 
       reveals the ways the city entered the literary 
       imagination.--From publisher description.
