520 "Paris and London have long held a mutual fascination, and
never more so than in the period 1750-1914, when they vied
to be the world's greatest city. Each city has been the
focus of many books, yet Jonathan Conlin here explores the
complex relationship between them for the first time. The
reach and influence of both cities was such that the story
of their rivalry has global implications. By borrowing,
imitating and learning from each other Paris and London
invented the true metropolis. Tales of Two Cities examines
and compares five urban spaces-the pleasure garden, the
cemetery, the apartment, the restaurant and the music hall
-that defined urban modernity in the nineteenth century.
The citizens of Paris and London first created these
essential features of the modern cityscape and so defined
urban living for all of us"--|cProvided by publisher.
