Description:

By developing the concept of critical space, this work presents a genealogy of 20th century American fiction. It argues that the radical American fiction of Jack London, Upton Sinclair, John Dos Passos, and Josephine Herbst re-imagines the spatial concerns of late 19th century utopian American texts.
