It tells a new history of the novel from a local geographical perspective, tracing developments in the form as it engaged with Bloomsbury in the period it emerged as the city's dominant literary zone. A neighbourhood that was subject simultaneously to socio-economic decline and cultural ascent, fiction set in Bloomsbury is shown to have reconceived the area's marginality as potential autonomy. Drawing on sociological theory, this book critically historicizes Bloomsbury's trajectory to show that its association with the intellectual "fraction" known as the `Bloomsbury Group' at the beginning of the twentieth century was symptomatic rather than exceptional. From the 1820s onwards, writers positioned themselves socially within the metropolitan geography they projected through their fiction. As Bloomsbury became increasingly identified with the cultural capital of writers rather than the economic capital of established wealth, writers subtly affiliated themselves with the area, and the figure of the writer and Bloomsbury became symbolically conflated. 650 0 $a English fiction $y 19th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Bloomsbury group. 650 0 $a Geography in literature. 650 0 $a Book industries and trade $z London $z London $x History $y 19th century. 651 0 $a Bloomsbury (London, England) $x History $y 19th century. 650 7 $a Bloomsbury group. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00834893 650 7 $a Book industries and trade. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00836171 650 7 $a English fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00910817 650 7 $a Geography in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00940561 651 7 $a England $z London. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204271 651 7 $a England $z Bloomsbury. $z Bloomsbury. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01313546 648 7 $a 1800-1899 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 830 0 $a Palgrave studies in nineteenth-century writing and culture. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231021014932.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=735327DC462211E9A3F20F6897128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
