Reviews

"As scholars well know, elucidating cities is no easy task, but City Limits represents a notable accomplishment." Canadian Journal of History

"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." European History Quarterly
