"The Structural And Thematic Function Of Walking In The Modernist European Urban Novel: Bely's ""peterburg"", Joyce's ""ulysses"" And Doeblin's ""berlin Alexanderplatz"". (andrei Bely, Russia, James Joyce, Ireland, Alfred Doeblin, Germany)"

Bely's Peterburg (1916), Joyce's Ulysses (1922) and Doblin's Berlin Alexanderplatz (1929) are the three most successful and comprehensive specimens of the modernist European urban novel. This dissertation offers, for the first time, a comparative examination of these works through a feature which is common to all three on both a thematic and a structural level: walking.
