Focusing on early modern London and Paris, Karen Newman challenges the notion that urban cultural dynamics emerged solely in the nineteenth century. She explores how elements such as speculation, capital, commodities, and urban crowds were already shaping these cities long before the industrial revolution. By examining these foundational aspects, the book reveals a deeper historical continuity in urban culture, suggesting that the complexities of metropolitan life have deeper roots than previously acknowledged.
