Editorial Reviews
From the Inside Flap
Thomas Butler Gunn’s classic 1857 account of urban habitation, The Physiology of New York Boarding-Houses, explores the process by which boardinghouse life was translated into a lively urban vernacular.Physiology is at once an essential introduction to a “lost” world of boarding, even as it comprises an early, engaging, and sophisticated analysis of America’s “urban turn” during the decades leading up to the Civil War.
