Research in urban history: a review of recent theses

In: Urban history, Band 32, Heft 2, S. 352-362

Abstract

Researching and producing this review of theses poses many challenges, the least of which is how to produce a meaningful summary of an abstract that already summarizes some 200–400 pages of detailed research, while avoiding sounding clichéd. However, undertaking this review for four years does give one the opportunity to consider the patterns and changes that have emerged. Thus this article will commence with a short review of the sources of theses, their numbers and the themes they had pursued.
