Soft cover. Condizione: Very Good. 1st Edition. Paperback, 321 pages, b&w images in text, NOT ex-library. Minor handling wear, book is clean and bright with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. -- This is a nuanced analysis of how London's East End has been mythologised and materialised through centuries of cultural production, political discourse, and urban transformation. Framed by interdisciplinary scholarship, this study sits at the confluence of cultural geography, social history, urban studies, and film and literary analysis, revealing how the East End has functioned as a critical space for constructing and contesting notions of Englishness, modernity, and class identity. Drawing from a diverse corpus of literary texts, journalistic writings, urban planning discourse, cinema, and visual culture, Newland explores how the East End was not merely a geographic region but a symbolically loaded site encoded with national anxieties and ideological meanings. The book examines how, from the Victorian period through to post-industrial and postcolonial Britain, the East End has been inscribed with complex associations: as a zone of criminality and poverty, as the heart of proletarian resilience, as a reservoir of immigrant identity, and as a palimpsest of imperial decline and neoliberal regeneration. Across eight chapters, Newland traces the discursive emergence and evolution of the East End myth. He investigates its transformation from rural hinterland to imperial slum, from the social experimentations of post-war urban planning to its rebranding as a site of coolness, nostalgia, and gentrification in the late twentieth century. The chapters cover critical historical moments, such as the representation of the East End during the Victorian era, the impact of the Bauhaus and Blitz, the symbolism of Ronan Point and Docklands redevelopment, and the appropriation of the space in postcolonial and neo-Victorian imaginaries. Particularly compelling is Newland's focus on the East End as a spatial metaphor - what Mikhail Bakhtin terms a "chronotope" - where temporality and geography fuse to embody the ideological struggles of a nation grappling with modernisation, immigration, and shifting social hierarchies. The book also demonstrates how the East End functions as a heterotopia in Michel Foucault's sense - a paradoxical space that simultaneously represents and subverts societal norms. Newland's reading of filmic and literary portrayals - including works by Iain Sinclair, Emily Richardson, and various Ripper narratives - reinforces the argument that the East End has long served as a cinematic and literary shorthand for deviance, decay, and disorder, but also for resistance, memory, and mythic endurance. These texts reflect not only the historical realities of East London but also the fantasies projected onto it by distant observers, urban planners, political reformers, and middle-class audiences. This study is vital for understanding how urban spaces are culturally constructed and politically weaponised. It is equally relevant to scholars in urban sociology, film and media studies, literary criticism, and British cultural studies. It shows how imagined geographies have real socio-political consequences - how cultural narratives shape spatial politics, and how representations of class, race, and nation are spatialised through cityscapes. Through its extensive archival research, critical insight, and theoretical sophistication, The Cultural Construction of London's East End invites readers to reconsider the East End not as a fixed or singular place, but as a dynamic and contested terrain of English identity - a site where memory, myth, and materiality collide.…

Hardback. Condizione: New. Illustrated. Timescapes of Waiting explores the intersections of temporality and space by examining various manifestations of spatial (im-)mobility. The individual articles approach these spaces from a variety of academic perspectives - including the realms of history, architecture, law and literary and cultural studies - in order to probe the fluid relationships between power, time and space. The contributors offer discussion and analysis of waiting spaces like ante-chambers, prisons, hospitals, and refugee camps, and also of more elusive spaces such as communities and nation-states. Contributors: Olaf Berwald, Elise Brault-Dreux, Richard Hardack, Kerstin Howaldt, Robin Kellermann, Amanda Lagji, Margaret Olin, Helmut Puff, Katrin Röder, Christoph Singer, Cornelia Wächter, Robert Wirth. …

Hardback. Condizione: New. Literary Invention and the Cartographic Imagination: Early Modern to Late Modern is a wide-ranging, inter- and transdisciplinary approach grounded in the twin rigors of theory and history, which, through close readings of authors from Edmund Spenser to Olga Tokarczuk, and through considered discussions of the ideologies of walking and mapping, in performance art and cultural representation, assesses and analyses the significance of maps to literary texts, and which examines the ways in which the literary maps imaginary and real worlds. Together, the essays demonstrate convincingly the close relationship between text, map and culture.…
