| Abstract: | Book review of: Cities at War in Early Modern Europe. By Martha Pollak. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press. 2010. ISBN 052111344X ; ISBN-13: 9780521113441 This publication focuses on how urban design and its spatial and visual ordering were influenced by the continual threat of war - how monarchs, princes and planners engineered the militarization of urban spaces and refashioned civic life with their bastioned star-shaped enceintes and citadels, massive esplanades and glacis, barracks, and parade grounds, in order to prepare the city for war. |
