Preferred term

urban novel  

Definition

  • The study of the urban novel is one of the key disciplines in the history of urban studies. To circumscribe their topic, the first urban sociologists and philosophers had to fall back on the literary reconstructions of what Henri Lefebvre, in The Production of Space, called “lived space.” Georg Simmel and Walter Benjamin studied urban fiction to get a purchase on the heterogeneous experiences produced by modern cities.
