Urban Formalism

The Work of City Reading

Beschreibung

This book examines how the city peoples of New York and Paris interpreted their urban surroundings during the middle decades of the nineteenth century. At the center of this examination are the literary, material, political, and visual forms which afforded contemporaries new ways of "reading" the modern metropolis.
