Paris and London have long held a mutual fascination, and never
more so than in the period from 1700 to 1914, when each vied to be
"the" world's greatest city. Each city has been the focus of
countless books, yet here Jonathan Conlin 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 modern metropolis.
"Tales of Two Cities" examines and compares six urban spaces--the
street, the cemetery, the apartment, the restaurant, the underworld
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, in doing so,
defined urban living for all of us.
