Collecting David Harvey's finest work on Paris during the second empire; Paris; Capital of Modernity offers brilliant insights ranging from the birth of consumerist spectacle on the Parisian boulevards; the creative visions of Balzac; Baudelaire and Zola; and the reactionary cultural politics of the bombastic Sacre Couer. The book is heavily illustrated and includes a number drawings; portraits and cartoons by Daumier; one of the greatest political caricaturists of the nineteenth century.
