Two Capitals: London and Dublin 1500-1840

These essays offer the first comparative analysis of the two great cities, London and Dublin, and their rise between the sixteenth and early nineteenth centuries. The contributors, all leading urban historians, examine the physical growth of the cities, economic and social trends, governance, and cultural significance. This volume is a major contribution not only to urban studies but also to British and Irish history in general.
