The wide variety of interior spaces elicited in literature — from the odd room over the womb, secluded parks, and train compartments, to the city as a world under a cloth — reveal a common defining feature: these interiors can all be analyzed as codes of a paradoxical, both assertive and fragile, subjectivity in its own unique time and history. They function as subtexts that define subjectivity, time, and history as profoundly ambiguous realities, on interchangeable existential, socio-political, and epistemological levels. This volume addresses the imagery of interior spaces in a number of iconic and also lesser known yet significant authors of European, North American, and Latin American literature of the nineteenth, twentieth, and twenty-first centuries: Djuna Barnes, Edmond de Goncourt, William Faulkner, Gabriel García Márquez, Benito Pérez Galdós, Elsa Morante, Robert Musil, Jules Romains, Peter Waterhouse, and Émile Zola UR - https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/25269/1/1004825.pdf UR - https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/25269/1/1004825.pdf UR - https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/25269/1/1004825.pdf UR - https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/26991 ER -
