{"product_id":"new-york-paris-laure-katsaros-9780472118496","title":"New York-Paris: Whitman, Baudelaire, and the Hybrid City","description":"\u003cp\u003eAs New York and Paris began to modernize, new modes of entertainment, such as panoramas, dioramas, and photography, seemed poised to take the place of the more complex forms of literary expression. Dioramas and photography were invented in Paris but soon spread to America, forming part of an increasingly universal idiom of the spectacle. This brave new world of technologically advanced but crudely mimetic spectacles haunts both Whitman's vision of New York and Baudelaire's view of Paris. In \u003ci\u003eNew York-Paris\u003c\/i\u003e, Katsaros explores the images of the mid-nineteenth-century city in the poetry of both Whitman and Baudelaire and seeks to demonstrate that, by projecting an image of the other's city onto his own, each poet tried to resist the apparently irresistible forward momentum of modernity rather than create a paradigmatically happy mixture of \"high\" and \"low\" culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Laure Katsaros\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0472118498\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780472118496\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Michigan Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/15\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 152\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.20w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2013","brand":"Laure Katsaros","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086707110143,"sku":"9780472118496","price":59.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_17bf9370-9888-4922-937d-3cf7b858e615.jpg?v=1769096111","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/new-york-paris-laure-katsaros-9780472118496","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
