Multiplying Worlds: Romanticism, Modernity, and the Emergence of Virtual Reality
Otto, Peter (Professor of English Literary Studies, University of Melbourne)
This book argues that modern forms of virtual reality first appear in the urban/commercial milieu of London in the late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century. To establish this aetiology it maps the emergence of virtual realities in popular entertainment, Enlightenment schemes for managing the real, and Romantic literature and art.
