Krátky popis
In&,nbsp,The Unruly City, historian Mike Rapport offers a vivid
history of three intertwined cities toward the end of the
eighteenth century-Paris, London, and New York-all in the midst of
political chaos and revolution. From the British occupation of New
York during the Revolutionary War, to agitation for democracy in
London and popular uprisings, and ultimately regicide in Paris,
Rapport explores the relationship between city and revolution,
asking why some cities engender upheaval and some suppress it. Why
did Paris experience a devastating revolution while London avoided
one? And how did American independence ignite activism in cities
across the Atlantic? Rapport takes readers from the politically
charged taverns and coffeehouses on Fleet Street, through a sea
battle between the British and French in the New York Harbor, to
the scaffold during the Terror in Paris. The Unruly
City&,nbsp,shows how the cities themselves became protagonists
in the great drama of revolution.
