Know about the book -

Urban Poetics in the French Renaissance is written by Elisabeth Hodges and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0754662063 (ISBN 10) and 9780754662068 (ISBN 13).

Through a construct she calls urban poetics, Elisabeth Hodges draws out the relationship between the city and the self in early modern French literature and culture, showing the impact of the city in human history and cultural production to be so profound that it cannot be extricated from what we know by the name of subjectivity. Charting a course between cartography, literary studies, and cultural history, this study opens new vistas on some of the period's defining problems.
