AB  - "New York City's streets, parks, museums, architecture and its people appear in an array of literary works published from New York's earliest settlement to the present day. The exploration of the city as both a symbol and as a reality has formed the basis of New York's literature. Using the themes of adaptation, innovation, identity and hope, this history explores novels, poetry, periodicals and newspapers to examine how New York's literature can be understood through the notion of movement.
