Omschrijving
The term "reflection" is bound up with the theory of mimesis in ancient Greek philosophy. Plato underlines that art should imitate nature, while Aristotle highlights the creativity the poet should possess in the process of imitation. Thus, the term "reflection" stresses that artistic creation involves the fusion of facts and fiction. As regards McEwan's London narratives, it is directed both at reality and the novelist's representation of this city. Reflections, in truth, are inclusive of multifarious phenomena, images, and impressions. This book analyzes Ian McEwan's literary reflections of London in First Love, Last Rites, The Child in Time, and Saturday from perspectives of entropy, space, and spectacle to interpret the novelist's negative aesthetics of the city. It attempts to show that Ian McEwan's representation of urbanites' traumatic experience, his literary investigation of the ecological and socio-cultural crises of contemporary London and other metropolises, and his meditation on the boundary between barbarism and civilization all shed light on contemporary urban narratives.
