"This book offers a rich and nuanced analysis of the multiple relationships between modernist cultural production and urban space. [...] His attention to geographical detail makes this a valuable contribution not just to modernist scholarship, but also to the emerging interdisciplinary field of literary geography.--Anneloek Scholten, Radboud University ""English Studies"" Modernism, Space and the City illuminates the geographical emotions of a regional transnationalism--the comparative modernisms of Paris, Vienna, Berlin, and London. Creatively combining affective and materialist approaches to modernism, Thacker bridges urban modernization, avant-garde cultural institutions, and the experiential contours of modernism's diverse outsiders. A must read on European modernisms!-- ""Susan Stanford Friedman, University of Wisconsin-Madison"""
