Abstract
Robert Nemes has written a concise and useful overview of the expansion, mod ernization, and ethnic transformation of Budapest in the classic era of nineteenth century nationalism and liberalism, from the French Revolutionary era to the eve of World War I. The author tells the story of the rise of a metropolis imagined as a "national" (i. e., Magyar) capital city, in place of the older, prenationalist and socially corporatist seventeenth- and eighteenth-century towns of Ofen (Buda), ?buda, and Pest, which were largely German Sprachinseln straddling the Danube on the Hungarian plain.
