"With Provincial Modernity Jennifer Jenkins has written an important and rich contribution to the growing American scholarly literature on the city-state of Hamburg. Her path-breaking analysis of Hamburg's public culture between 1880 and 1914 focuses on precisely those aspects of the public sphere that traditional political narratives have missed."--Peter Hohendahl, Cornell University, "The book is well-written and solidly grounded in the city's archives and memoirs. . . This study offers several contributions to German imperial historiography, in particular a nuanced cultural understanding of Heimat and an alternative view of civic liberalism."-Katherine B. Aaslestad, West Virginia University, H-Net Reviews, July 2003., "Jenkins does a wonderful job of capturing the visions of cultural reformers, museum directors, teachers, architects, artists, and others who sought to transform Hamburg and its image around the turn of the century. She has a talent for describing their efforts and showing how their shifting sense of place motivated, and was reinforced by, their achievements."--H. Glenn Penny, Central European History, vol. 37 no. 3, Jenkins's book offers a handy overview of key aspects within society and politics during the period.... Jenkins interweaves a history of Hamburg's Art Museum and Art Association with an analysis of how political structures and participation were reshaped under the pressure of the Social Democratic Party (SPD). This is a sophisticated discussion, an important contribution to social-cultural history.... In examining the educational programs Lichtwark developed in the museum, Jenkins offers a wide survey of both middle and working-class movements in this area, drawing on the work of Patrick Joyce to make interesting parallels with English developments., "With Provincial Modernity Jennifer Jenkins has written an important and rich contribution to the growing American scholarly literature on the city-state of Hamburg.

Great seller with great communication! Item arrived complete, as described and for a good price. There was a bit of an issue with tracking the order at one point (not the seller's fault), but seller was proactive in reaching out to the carrier and myself to get everything back on track. Arrived when expected.
