About the Book

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.
