Abstract:

The geography of any literary period has included in one way or another the space of the city. On the one hand, our paper aims at analysing the way in which a wide range of urban nuclei, crossing the continents, have been described by Malcolm Bradbury in his critical works as concentrating all the artistic phenomena, the growth of the individual consciousness and the general conflicts as well. On the other hand, our analysis continues by presenting the way in which Bradbury’s fiction parodies the existence of these “culture-cities”1.

Keywords:

transfer of values, urbanisation, loss, the local, “culture-capitals”, to circumscribe/ to map, metaphorisation, new culture, New Man.
