David Harvey's study of Second Empire Paris and the events surrounding the Paris Commune in Paris: Capital of Modernity, is undoubtedly his most elaborated historical-geographical work.

Collecting David Harvey's work on Paris during the second empire, Paris, Capital of Modernity offers insights ranging from the birth of consumerist spectacle on the Parisian boulevards, the creative visions of Balzac, Baudelaire and Zola, and the reactionary cultural politics of the bombastic Sacre Coeur. The book is heavily illustrated and includes a number drawings, portraits and cartoons by Daumier, one of the greatest political caricaturists of the nineteenth century.
