Part one (that is, chapter 3), ‘Dialogic Imaginings’, identifies key topics in the discourse of space and analyses how selected literary works respond to these topics. The work is divided into two major parts. The subject is approached through theories of space and place, represented by radical human geographers such as Henri Lefebvre, David Harvey or Edward Soja, and through a moderate Western Marxist approach pertinent to the left-leaning tendencies of the theoreticians of space and of the urban novels referred to. The present work provides a comprehensive treatment of the subject of the Scottish urban novel, combining a chronological and thematic perspective to achieve a greater insight into all aspects of the subject.
