Book Launch: Rome, Postmodern Narratives of a Cityscape (Pickering and Chatto)
In discussion: Dorigen Caldwell (Birkbeck), Alan O’Leary (Leeds) & Lara Pucci (Nottingham) with contributors Lesley Caldwell (UCL), John David Rhodes (Sussex) and editors Dom Holdaway (Bologna) & Filippo Trentin (ICI Berlin).
Until the mid-twentieth century the Western imagination seemed intent on viewing Rome purely in terms of its classical past or as a stop on the Grand Tour. This collection of essays looks at Rome from a postmodern perspective, including analysis of the city's 'unmappability', its fragmented narratives and its iconic status in literature and film.
For more info please see www.pickeringchatto.com/Rome<http://www.pickeringchatto.com/Rome> - a discount on the volume will be available at the launch.
This event is part of the Rome Lecture Series (Birkbeck-UCL) and of the AHRC Roman Modernities Research Network (University of Warwick, UCL).

All the best,
Filippo Trentin & Dom Holdaway
