{"product_id":"medieval-urban-culture-andrew-brown-9782503577425","title":"Medieval Urban Culture","description":"This volume explores the specificity of the urban culture in western Europe during the period c.1150-1550. Since the mid-twentieth century, many studies have complicated the association, traditionally made, between the medieval growth of towns and the birth of a modern, secular world; but few have given any attention to what actually made urban culture 'urban'. This volume begins by placing medieval 'urban culture' within its spatial context, to consider how urban conditions determined the perception and representation of the city-dweller. Contributors examine a variety of urban cultures, from the political to the artistic, from London and Bruges to Florence and Venice, and beyond Europe. They show how urban culture involved a process of interaction with other discourses (royal, noble, ecclesiastical) and that it was not monolithic: the relationship between urban environments and the cultures they generated were hybrid, fluid and dynamic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrew Brown\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 2503577423\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9782503577425\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brepols Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/06\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 213\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.90h x 7.00w x 0.60d","brand":"Andrew Brown","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48066337472767,"sku":"9782503577425","price":113.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_01c90b0e-9943-43e5-b01c-c30139cefaa1.jpg?v=1768678125","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/medieval-urban-culture-andrew-brown-9782503577425","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
