      abstract = {The Urban Fantastic in Nineteenth-Century European  Literature explores transnational perspectives of modern  city life in Europe by engaging with the fantastic tropes  and metaphors used by writers of short fiction. Focusing on  the literary city and literary representations of urban  experience throughout the nineteenth century, the works  discussed incorporate supernatural occurrences in a  European city and the supernatural of these stories stems  from and belongs to the city. The argument is structured  around three primary themes. "Architectures," "Encounters"  and "Rhythms" make reference to three axes of city life:  material space, human encounters, and movement. This  thematic approach highlights cultural continuities and thus  supports the use of the label of "urban fantastic" within  and across the European traditions studied here. Patricia  Garcia is Ramon y Cajal Researcher at the Universidad de  Alcala, Spain. Her research focuses on narrative spaces and  their intersection with urban studies, feminisms and with  representations of the supernatural. She coordinates the  network Fringe Urban Narratives: Peripheries, Identities,  Intersections, has directed the project Gender and the  Hispanic Fantastic (funded by the British Academy) and has  been a fellow of the Helsinki Collegium for Advanced  Studies (2018-2019) with a EURIAS fellowship. She is a  member of Executive Committee of the European Society of  Comparative Literature, of the Spanish Research Group on  the Fantastic (Grupo de Estudios de lo Fantastico) and of  the editorial board of BRUMAL: Research Journal on the  Fantastic.
