Abstract
This extensive collection of 13 essays centres on relationships of time and space, place and actor in early-modern and modern urban society and culture. Markedly inter-disciplinary, this volume makes a timely contribution to urban historiography. Indeed, City Limits is ample proof of just how much urban history has developed over recent years, from a rather niche genre to cutting-edge mainstream history. More than this, the collection’s themes and methodology are of value not only to urban historians, but scholars of society, gender, politics and culture more broadly. As a result, the collection offers a far-reaching and comprehensive contribution to the field.
