Language: English.\u003c\/p\u003e\n This book offers a novel approach to the history of high culture and new perspectives on the history of civil society in provincial Germany. It makes the concept of place a central means for understanding how art culture was defined, consumed, and, importantly, distributed over the course of the long nineteenth century. It shows how “temples of culture” come to be built where they were built. It further demonstrates who participated in their planning, funding, construction, and ultimate evolution into public institutions, highlighting underexamined links between the history of art culture and that of urban history and civil society.  \n\n                                         Editorial Reviews                   About the Author   Margaret Eleanor Menninger, Ph.D (1998), Harvard University, is Associate Professor of History at Texas State University and Executive Director of the German Studies Association.
