Jazz Age Barcelona

Informationen zum Autor Robert Davidson is an associate professor of Spanish and Catalan at the University of Toronto, and the author of Jazz Age Barcelona, also published by University of Toronto Press. Klappentext Jazz Age Barcelona focuses the lenses of cultural studies and urban studies on the avant-garde character of the city during the cosmopolitan Jazz Age, delving into the cultural forces that flourished in Europe between the late 1910s and early 1930s. Zusammenfassung Using periodicals and recently rediscovered archival material, Davidson considers the relationship between the political pressures of a brutal class war, the grasp of a repressive dictatorship, and the engagement of the city's young intellectuals with Barcelona's culture and environment.
