Taking their readers to diverse places and moments in history, the contributions remind us of the struggles over the concrete as well as the imaginary space we call the city. The collection maps the various challenges experienced by urban communities, ranging from the unmistakably hegemonic claim of civic festivities in early modern London to the perceived threat posed by newly created parks in the Restoration period and from the dangers of criminality and riots in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to the transformation of the Berlin Wall into souvenirs scattered around the globe. 410 0$aSpatial Practices$v27. 606 $aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aCities and towns in literature 606 $aSocial conflict in literature 606 $aSpace in literature 606 $aCities and towns in art 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aCities and towns in literature. 615 0$aSocial conflict in literature. 615 0$aSpace in literature. 615 0$aCities and towns in art. 676 $a820.9/35841009732 701 $aEhland$b Christoph$0862454 701 $aFischer$b Pascal$0862455 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910494642803321 996 $aResistance and the city$91925174 997 $aUNINA
