Recent studies of the structure and everyday activities of cities have
highlighted the pluralism inherent in dense populations and looked at
crucial themes such as culture, class, gender, governance and social
practices. "City Limits" advances this work by offering richly detailed
studies of aspects of city life in such important early modern European
centres as London, Paris, Augsburg, Amsterdam, Copenhagen and Edinburgh.
In essays that capture the multiple aspects of urban life, contributors
examine European cities through the lenses of history, literature, art,
architecture and music. Covering topics such as governance,
performance, high culture and subculture, tourism and journalism, this
volume provides new and invigorating ways to think about cities both
past and present. An innovative and interdisciplinary work, "City
Limits" crosses conventional critical boundaries to depict a vibrant and
moving cityscape of historical urban experience.
