Today we’re starting a new feature over at Patell and Waterman’s History of New York, a blog that I edit with my colleague Bryan Waterman. Prof. Waterman and I are co-teaching the course Writing New York this term, and we’re also finishing up an edited volume called The Cambridge Companion to the Literatures of New York City, which will be published next January.
The new feature on the blog is the presentation of bits of research by the members of my U-Hall Freshman Honors seminar last fall on New York and modernism. We’ll have a new piece every Sunday.
This week we have Victoria Wu on Art Deco architecture and its reception in the media during the early 1930s. Check it out here.
