Literary geography: Joyce, Woolf and the city
Are cities in literature essentially 'imaginary spaces' or, rather, representations of material realities? Jeri Johnson explores these alternative conceptions—with reference to the metropolis as discussed by Benjamin and Simmel—in the work of James Joyce and Virginia Woolf. For both writers, Johnson concludes, cities were both 'insistently themselves and persistently something other' (including utopian openings towards 'the possibility of charitable action as a stimulus to social cohesion').
