The book offers a wide perspective on the history of the capital of
the Kingdom of Poland. The Kingdom was a small part of the
Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, which passed under the rule of the
Russian Tsars. The book presents the life of the streets, squares
and parks, special events, the changing infrastructure and the rise
of consumerism. It describes how Warsaw became a monumental capital
in a short period of 1815-1830. The main plot of the book is the
political dimension of the space: publicly expressed sympathies and
aversions towards politicians, rising control and Russification,
acts of loyalty and anti-Russian demonstrations to regain hegemony
in the early 1860s. The author reflects on the question if the
modern definitions of the public space can be applied to a historic
city.
