Reviews

'Yet Re-presenting the Metropolis remains a major new contribution to the history of architecture and urban experience in London in the period 1800-40.' - Art Book 'Re-Presenting the Metropolis...contains wonderful information about and insights into the building and rebuilding of London at the dawn of Britain's heyday as a world power.' - 19th Century Contexts 'Throughout the book Arnold's use of contemporary texts provides a fascinating insight both into the responses of Londoners to their city and the textual frameworks which assisted them in navigating its streets and conceptualising its identity.' - Oxford Art Journal 'The whole book is a satisfying investigation of aspects of social, economic and political history of the period 1800 to 1840 taken from the stance of an accomplished architectural historian.' - Frank Crompton, University College Worcester, Urban History
