  'Is Paris Still the Capital of the Nineteenth Century?' The question that guides this volume stems from Walter Benjamin's studies of nineteenth-century Parisian culture as the apex of capitalist aesthetics. It also studies a range of media than Benjamin did himself: from modernist painting and printmaking, and illustration to urban planning.
