Shopping streets and cultures from a long-term and transnational perspective

This volume aims to demonstrate that running a shop, regulating shopping streets and shopping for pleasure in the early modern period and the nineteenth century were all social practices that took
on different forms in different times, countries and cities. Comparing them systematically from a long-term, comparative and transnational perspective, however, offers us the opportunity to trace some new and
surprising continuities and similarities, to highlight stronger contrasts and specificities, and to explore intriguing processes of cultural transfer, appropriation and exchange.
