中文简介:
到目前为止,它的印第安名字是曼纳哈塔(Manna-hatta),或者像一些人至今仍沿用的“曼哈特脚趾”(Manhattoes);但现在这被谴责为野蛮和异教……最后,当议会几乎绝望的时候,一个以脑袋的大小和方正著称的市民建议把它叫做新阿姆斯特丹。这个提议使大家都感到意外;它是那么引人注目,那么贴切,那么巧妙。这个名字是用感叹号起的,从那时起,大都市就叫做新阿姆斯特丹。华盛顿·欧文,1808,以一种不那么玩世不恭的风格,这门课程检视了纽约市从1607年到现在的演变。阅读集中在城市的社会和物理历史,课堂讨论将纽约的发展与其他城市的模式进行比较。
课程简介: Hitherto it had gone by the original Indian name Manna-hatta, or as some still have it, 'The Manhattoes'; but this was now decried as savage and heathenish... At length, when the council was almost in despair, a burgher, remarkable for the size and squareness of his head, proposed that they should call it New-Amsterdam. The proposition took every body by surprise; it was so striking, so apposite, so ingenious. The name was adopted by acclamation, and New-Amsterdam the metropolis was thenceforth called. —Washington Irving, 1808 In less tongue-in-cheek style, this course examines the evolution of New York City from 1607 to the present. The readings focus on the city's social and physical histories, and the class discussions compare New York's development to patterns in other cities.
