Neurasthenia and the Modern City
The mental health of turn-of-the-twentieth-century urban North Americans declined under the predations and indifference of laissez-faire capitalism—so much so that physician George Beard associated the emergence of a new and modern “nervousness” with a novel “American” disease: neurasthenia. Neither new nor particularly American neurasthenia did, however, give psychiatric and cultural geographic shape to the pyroclastic eruption of stress in mode…
On the Excising of (Urban) Historical Geography from Canadian Geography Departments
Historical geography and urban historical geography barely exist as sub-disciplinary idioms in geography department curricula across Canada. Yes, historical geography research flourishes, but the teaching of historical and urban historical geography has all but vanished, except in a tiny number of larger departments. This article asks why—especially given historical geography’s sub-disciplinary commitment to social and environmental justice. But …
Newspaper City
In Newspaper City , Phillip Gordon Mackintosh scrutinizes the reluctance of early Torontonians to pave their streets. Consequently, Mackintosh’s study reveals the contradictory nature of newspapers and the historiographical complexities of newspaper research.
Contradictory mobility
Twenty-first-century Toronto recapitulates its early twentieth-century self in one important respect: the automobilism of present-day Toronto injures and kills pedestrians in the same way – in the city’s crowded streets – and at roughly the same rate. The difference between the two eras lies in the types of injury and causes of death among children. Interwar Toronto endangered its children on increasingly crowded and automobilising streets, with …
Co-Agent of the Millennium”
Urban geography has overlooked the influence of eschatology in the conception and production of modern cities. City planning at the turn of the twentieth century imbibed at the plentiful well of liberal evangelical theology and its belief in a postmillennial advent of the "Kingdom of God on Earth." Foretold in scripture, this "kingdom" was in fact a heavenly city brought down to earth, a divine corollary to social progress and scientific ingenuit…

The Toronto Star Fresh Air Fund
The Toronto Star newspaper began rescuing poor children from the city's hottest, smokiest, and smelliest neighborhoods in 1901. The Fresh Air Fund, like park and playground planning, assumed that proximity to nature modified both health and behavior. Evoking transcendentalism—the idea that providential nature could move humanity into higher forms of existence—the Star sent children to the countryside near Toronto, albeit temporarily, assured of p…
A Bourgeois Geography of Domestic Bicycling
Domestic bicycling emerged in thefin de siécleas a response to perceived violations ofhaute bourgeoispublic decorum and comportment. It promoted domestic, aestheticized and "womanly" bicycling and bicycling activities as alternatives to the anti-domestic bicycling behaviour demonstrated by reckless men and indecorous women. The domestic notion of responsible bicycling in public included the bicycle gymkhana, where the competition was not so much …
Flâneurie on bicycles
Although scholars have established the publicity of all types of nineteenth‐century women, their public actions are still regarded as morally constrained. We offer one group of public women, bourgeois cyclists, who after encountering public skepticism only briefly were given free rein of the streets and country roads. This propensity of women and men to ride the thoroughfares ‘a‐wheel’ we refer to as flâneurie on bicycles, a technology‐mediated f…
Scrutiny in the Modern City
In this article I argue that late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century ‘white’ Protestant bourgeois women acted publicly and engaged in the production of public space, while disregarding the moral geographies now associated with such women's mobility. Highlighting the urban/social reform activities of the Toronto Local Council of Women, this article argues that their unlimited use of public space combines with domestic ideology's dictate to pr…
