«Les villes imaginaires dans la littérature française» is the literary criticism essay by Jean Roudaut (Hatier, 1990, 193 pp., paperback, in French).
Jean Roudaut analyses how French writers have invented fictional cities and the role they play in their works: reflecting ideas, criticising society and exploring the fantastic. The study surveys several works of French literature to show that the imaginary city is a recurring motif with symbolic value.
Subtitled «Les douze portes», it is part of the Brèves Littérature collection and includes bibliographical references (pp. 177-183).
For students and readers interested in French literary criticism and the fantastic representation of cities in narrative.
