Tales of the City: A Study of Narrative and Urban Life
Finnegan, Ruth (The Open University, Milton Keynes)
This 1998 anthropological study analyses a range of stories about the city: academics' abstract tales, concrete stories about a specific place, and residents' self narration. It focuses on narrative conventions, cultural attributes of stories and story telling, and their relation to myths about urban life, community and individual creativity.
