Highly readable, it moves out from its large corpus of Montreal novels to fill in the aesthetic, social and political backdrops against which these novels were written. Then Morgan moves back into the novels themselves, capturing each book's formal innovations and engagements with the complex cultural and linguistic geographies of Montreal. The author's treatment of Quebecois literature overall is comprehensive and well-informed, but the appeal of the book extends far beyond the field of literary scholarship. 'Mindscapes of Montreal' has a great deal to offer those, like myself, engaged in urban cultural studies, or others interested in Quebec culture in a general sense.\" Professor William Straw, Director, McGill Institute for the Study of Canada\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction Chapter one: the Manichean city; the modern city Chapter two: the city as site of trauma Chapter three: the spectacular city Chapter four: mixite in Montreal Chapter five: Montreal as metropolis: the globalised city Chapter six: microspaces Conclusion","brand":"University of Wales Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48884245594455,"sku":"9780708325339","price":49.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/mindscapes-of-montreal-9780708325339","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
