214 S. ; 22 cm. Tadelloses Exemplar. // Englisch. // The book discusses the evolution of the urban chronotope in the selected novels by Peter Ackroyd, an acclaimed British author. The examined narratives illustrate the transformation from the postmodern tenets of historiographic metafiction into a unique urban mythopoetics by means of a semiotic analysis. - "In her book, Marta Komsta meticulously analyzes the evolution of the urban chronotope in ten of Ackroyd's novels written over more than thirty' years. In doing so, it takes an unusually nuanced position in the ongoing debate about postmodernism's relation to history, demonstrating how Ackroyd's flagrantly metafictional and performative works tire at the same time deeply, complexly and sincerely historiographical."
