"With Provincial Modernity Jennifer Jenkins has written an important and rich contribution to the growing American scholarly literature on the city-state of Hamburg. Her path-breaking analysis of Hamburg's public culture between 1880 and 1914 focuses on precisely those aspects of the public sphere that traditional political narratives have missed."--Peter Hohendahl, Cornell University, "The book is well-written and solidly grounded in the city's archives and memoirs. . . This study offers several contributions to German imperial historiography, in particular a nuanced cultural understanding of Heimat and an alternative view of civic liberalism."-Katherine B. Aaslestad, West Virginia University, H-Net Reviews, July 2003., "Jenkins does a wonderful job of capturing the visions of cultural reformers, museum directors, teachers, architects, artists, and others who sought to transform Hamburg and its image around the turn of the century. She has a talent for describing their efforts and showing how their shifting sense of place motivated, and was reinforced by, their achievements."--H.

In examining the educational programs Lichtwark developed in the museum, Jenkins offers a wide survey of both middle and working-class movements in this area, drawing on the work of Patrick Joyce to make interesting parallels with English developments., "With Provincial Modernity Jennifer Jenkins has written an important and rich contribution to the growing American scholarly literature on the city-state of Hamburg.

Ok so I ordered this item listed as having free shipping. It was listed at $43.54 with free shipping. Somehow I ended up being charged $65.52. Then after waiting 3 weeks and having absolutely no tracking information I spoke with the seller who agreed to send a replacment, but despite charging me extra money was unwilling to ship that replacment in a way that wouldn't take atleast 3 more weeks. Ultimately this was a complete waste of time and the seller is not one that I would recommend.

This is not a coloring book!!!!! It’s just a book of black and white photos and even if colored over would look horrible! This book is a scam and I have received 2 items out of 3 I ordered and the third hasn’t even been shipped. Tried to message seller but only option given is to send the item number but no way to give reason for dissatisfaction with item! I would advise not ordering anything from this seller…
