Clé Lesger 
The Landscape of Consumption 
Shopping Streets and Cultures in Western Europe, 1600-1900

This volume brings together research on retailing, shopping and urban space; themes that have attracted wide interest in recent decades. The authors argue that the ‘modernity’ of the nineteenth century is often over-emphasised at the expense of recognising earlier innovation.
