Urban microcosms are small-scale communal spaces that are integral to, or integrated into, city life. Some, such as railway stations or department stores, are typically located in city centres. Others, such as parks, are less quintessentially metropolitan, whilst harbours or beaches are often located on the peripheries of cities or outside them altogether. All are part of a network of nodes establishing connections in and beyond the city. Together, they shape and inflect the infrastructure of modern life. By introducing the concept of urban microcosm into social, cultural, and literary studies, this interdisciplinary volume challenges the widely held assumption that city life is evenly spread across its spaces. Sixteen case studies focus on selected urban microcosms from across Europe between 1789 and 1940, and examine the external appearance, representation, histories, and internal rules of these organizational structures and facilities. In so doing, they contribute to an understanding of modernity, and of the impact of the dynamics of urban life on human experience and intersubjectivity.

John Breuilly brings together a distinguished group of international scholars to examine Germany's history from 1780 to 1918, featuring chapters on economic, demographic and social as well as cultural and intellectual history. There are also chapters on political and military history covering the revolutionary and Napoleonic wars, the post-Napoleonic period, the revolutions of 1848-1849, the unification of Germany, Bismarckian Germany and Wilhelmine Germany, and Germany during the First World War. This new edition, which retains the helpful further reading suggestions for each chapter and a chronology, has been completely updated to take account of recent historiography. The statistical data has been expanded, more maps and images have been introduced, and there are two new chapters on transnational approaches and gender history. Finally, the editor has added a conclusion which reflects on the key developments in the history of Germany over the “long nineteenth century”. Providing clear surveys of the central events and developments and addressing major debates amongst historians, Nineteenth-Century Germany is vital reading for all those wishing to understand this crucial period in modern German history.

Sogenannte directories – gedruckte Aufstellungen der Gewerbetreibenden einer Stadt, die oft kombiniert waren mit Reiseführer-ähnlichen Inhalten – avancierten in England ab dem 18. Jahrhundert zu populären Medien. In einer Phase rasanter Urbanisierung erfüllten sie vielfältige Funktionen für die Orientierung in städtischen Räumen, die Strukturierung von Kommunikation und die Organisation von Wissen. Dennoch hat diese Mediengattung in der historischen Forschung bisher nur wenig Beachtung erfahren. Das Buch schließt diese Forschungslücke, indem es untersucht, welchen Beitrag die directories dazu leisteten, Stadträume entzifferbar und navigierbar zu machen, sie zu deuten und mitzugestalten. Es eröffnet einen facettenreichen Blick auf das komplexe Verhältnis zwischen Medien und städtischem (Er)Leben sowie auf die Wahrnehmung und Aneignung von Räumen. Zugleich leistet es einen Beitrag zur Historisierung alltäglicher und oft als selbstverständlich betrachteter Techniken und Medien der räumlichen Orientierung.

Das Handbuch stellt das gegenwärtige Wissen zur Textsorte ‚Brief‘ zur Verfügung und macht in seiner Vielzahl von Beiträgen aus allen kulturwissenschaftlichen Disziplinen die Dimension der von der Frühen Neuzeit bis zur Gegenwart wirksamen Briefkulturen erstmals greifbar. Das textuelle und kommunikative Phänomen ‚Brief‘ wird in systematisch-begriffsgeschichtlichen Artikeln sowie in quellenorientierten historischen Fallstudien umfassend analysiert. Das Handbuch widmet sich unter angemessener rezeptions- und literaturgeschichtlicher Berücksichtigung der epistolographischen Tradition seit seinen Anfängen schwerpunktmäßig dem deutschsprachigen Brief. Zahlreiche Bezugnahmen und Ausblicke auf den gesamteuropäischen Kontext schärfen den Blick für die teils sprachlich und kulturell bedingten Spezifika, teils universale Phänomenologie der Briefkultur(en). Auf Überblicksartikel aus Sicht der Disziplinen folgen Artikel zu grundlegenden Fragen bzw. zu Einzelaspekten der Briefkommunikation sowie eine Abteilung zu unterschiedlichen Briefgenres. Der umfangreiche historische Teil enthält vor allem Artikel zu wichtigen Briefschreiber/innen und zur Brieftheorie; besonderer Wert wird auf epistolare Zeitgenossenschaften gelegt.

Why have so many central and inner cities in Europe, North America and Australia been so radically revamped in the last three decades, converting urban decay into new chic? Will the process continue in the twenty-first century or has it ended? What does this mean for the people who live there? Can they do anything about it? This book challenges conventional wisdom, which holds gentrification to be the simple outcome of new middle-class tastes and a demand for urban living. It reveals gentrification as part of a much larger shift in the political economy and culture of the late twentieth century. Documenting in gritty detail the conflicts that gentrification brings to the new urban 'frontiers', the author explores the interconnections of urban policy, patterns of investment, eviction, and homelessness. The failure of liberal urban policy and the end of the 1980s financial boom have made the end-of-the-century city a darker and more dangerous place. Public policy and the private market are conspiring against minorities, working people, the poor, and the homeless as never before. In the emerging revanchist city, gentrification has become part of this policy of revenge.

In nineteenth-century Paris, passionate involvement with revolution turned the city into an engrossing object of cultural speculation. For writers caught between an explosive past and a bewildering future, revolution offered a virtuoso metaphor by which the city could be known and a vital principle through which it could be portrayed. In this engaging book, Priscilla Ferguson locates the originality and modernity of nineteenth-century French literature in the intersection of the city with revolution. A cultural geography, Paris as Revolution "reads" the nineteenth-century city not in literary works alone but across a broad spectrum of urban icons and narratives. Ferguson moves easily between literary and cultural history and between semiotic and sociological analysis to underscore the movement and change that fueled the powerful narratives defining the century, the city, and their literature. In her understanding and reconstruction of the guidebooks of Mercier, Hugo, Vallès, and others, alongside the novels of Flaubert, Hugo, Vallès, and Zola, Ferguson reveals that these works are themselves revolutionary performances, ones that challenged the modernizing city even as they transcribed its emergence. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1994.

Social Theory and the Urban Question offers a guide to, and a critical evaluation of key themes in contemporary urban social theory, as well as a re-examination of more traditional approaches in the light of recent developments and criticism. Dr Saunders discusses current theoretical positions in the context of the work of Marx, Weber and Durkheim. He suggests that later writers have often misunderstood or ignored the arguments of these 'founding fathers' of the urban question. Dr Saunders uses his final chapter to apply the lessons learned from a review of their work in order to develop a new framework for urban social and political analysis. This book was first published in 1981.
