In this book, the interplay between literature and the urban landscape takes centre stage, as three iconic cities--London, Venice, İstanbul--are explored through the eyes of poets and authors across different eras and cultures.

From William Blake's haunting portrayal of London to Italo Calvino's dreamlike Venice and Orhan Veli Kanık's lyrical tribute to İstanbul, this book examines how urban landscapes inspire, and shape literary voices, and, in turn, how literature constructs and reimagines the city. Through a comparative study of diverse movements, genres, and personal narratives, the book discusses the intersections between cityscapes, poetic and narrative forms, and the perspectives of writers from various backgrounds.
