INSCRIBED (to artist R.B. Kitaj) and SIGNED by the author on the front endpaper. In this book, the author "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. In a series of subtle and convincing interpretations of novels by Flaubert, Dickens, Bely, Woolf, Joyce, and Kafka, [the author] reveals the ways the city entered the literary imagination." Alter is a longtime faculty member at the University of California-Berkeley, a professor of Hebrew and comparative literature who is well-known for his translations of the Hebrew Bible and has also written more than a dozen other works of literary criticism.
