The book explores the crowd's double function as a symbol of the city's growth and as the necessary context for the public performance of urban culture. Its central argument is that the figure of the crowd acts as a supplement to the symbolic space of the city, at once providing a tangible referent for urban meaning and threatening the legibility of that meaning through its motive force and uncontrollable energy. 410 0$aEarly Modern Cultural Studies 1500-1700,$x2634-5900 606 $aEuropean literature$yRenaissance, 1450-1600 606 $aSocial history 606 $aCivilization$xHistory 606 $aCulture$xStudy and teaching 606 $aEarly Modern and Renaissance Literature 606 $aSocial History 606 $aCultural History 606 $aCultural Studies 615 0$aEuropean literature 615 0$aSocial history. 615 0$aCivilization$xHistory. 615 0$aCulture$xStudy and teaching. 615 14$aEarly Modern and Renaissance Literature. 615 24$aSocial History. 615 24$aCultural History. 615 24$aCultural Studies. 676 $a820.9/32421 700 $aMunro$b Ian$f1967-$0901140 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910970551103321 996 $aThe Figure of the Crowd in Early Modern London$94330370 997 $aUNINA
