Abstract:

In this book, the interplay between literature and the urban landscape
takes centre stage, as three iconic cities—London, Venice,
İstanbul—are explored through the eyes of poets and authors across
different eras and cultures.
>From William Blake’s haunting portrayal of London to Italo Calvino’s
dreamlike Venice and Orhan Veli Kanık’s lyrical tribute to İstanbul,
this book examines how urban landscapes inspire, and shape literary
voices, and, in turn, how literature constructs and reimagines the
city. Through a comparative study of diverse movements, genres, and
personal narratives, the book discusses the intersections between
cityscapes, poetic and narrative forms, and the perspectives of
writers from various backgrounds.
Intended for readers interested in urban studies, comparative
literature, and the ways in which the built environment informs
artistic production, this book offers new insights on the deep and
often intimate connection between writers and the cities they bring to
life.
