Reviews

“Well-written, engaging, and informative, this book offers an exciting new prism through which to study the historical avant-garde. The book makes eye-opening connections across media and cultures to trace the development of the city symphony as a particularly modernist, intermedial art form. Schwartz establishes a kind of genealogy of the genre, from its beginnings in music, to its transfer into mass spectacle, film, and literature, and finally its cinematic metamorphosis into a more globalized vision of sonic space and spatial unity.” Julia Vaingurt, University of Illinois Chicago and author of Wonderlands of the Avant-Garde: Technology and the Arts in Russia of the 1920s
