Building Jerusalem: The Rise and Fall of the Victorian City

Sobre el libro Building Jerusalem: The Rise and Fall of the Victorian City de Tristam Hunt publicado por Holt al 2005:

By 1851, more than half of Britain´s population lived in cities, producing an urban flowering that would influence the shape of cities for generations. Drawing on diaries, newspapers, and works of fiction, Hunt shows how the Victorians translated their energy and ambition into realizing a grand vision of a utopian city on a hill, the new Jerusalem.
