Critiques
Synopsis de l’éditeur
"Bender has an omnivorous intellect, and, whether he's writing about Thomas Edison, the history of Washington Square, or modernist conceptions of the city, he has a knack for finding the telling anecdote and putting it in context.... This is a nuanced, convincing history, attuned to the difficulties and pleasures of city living." NEW YORKER "One of the strengths of this book is the way it uses photographs and illustrations as integral parts of the argument.... A learned, thoughtful, and incisive analysis of metropolitan culture." JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY "Bender's essays are deeply engaged and committed to his project of reasserting a general public role for historians.... Many of the most arresting observations in this book derive, however, from close reading of particulars, notably the physical particulars and artistic representations of selected bits of New York City streetscape and architecture."
