| Summary: |
The constant flow of people, ideas, and commodities across the Atlantic propelled the development of a public sphere. Chapters explore the multiple ways in which a growing urban consciousness influenced national and international cultural and political intersections. "Fay and von Morze's perspective-changing collection explains how larger sociospatial forces shape cities and their inhabitants. This edition presents a new direction for urban, Atlantic, and cultural studies to reveal an exciting interdisciplinary panorama." - Stephen Shapiro, Professor of English and Comparative Literary Studies, University of Warwick, UK. |
