Television Cities by Charlotte Brunsdon
Charlotte Brunsdon traces television's representations of Paris, London, and Baltimore to show how they reflect the medium's history and evolution, thereby challenging the prevalent assumptions about television as quintessentially suburban and showing how television shapes our perception of urban spaces, both familiar and unknown.
"A well written and well researched book that opens new prospects for television researchers on the history and the future of the medium" -- Nahuel Ribke * H-France, H-Net Reviews *
"Television Cities is relatively short . . . but it packs in a wide range of thought-provoking issues without losing its focus. . . . An engaging and rewarding read for anybody interested in fictions for small, and not-so-small, screens. It will no doubt succeed in its aim of encouraging debate in these domains." -- Robin Nelson * Critical Studies in Television *
