This book offers a rich and varied insight into the city of Rotterdam in the period 1918-1940. Themes such as cultural life in the city, among the cultural and social elite as well as the average 'Rotterdammers', are examined in nine individual essays. The subjects are linked to specific locations in the city, and include theatre, cabaret, music hall, film and Rotterdam's theatres, nightlife, art societies and artists' groups, exhibitions and fairs, music venues and musicians, architecture and urban planning, and journalistic circles and city newspapers.
