Robert Davidson is an associate professor of Spanish and Catalan at the University of Toronto, and the author of Jazz Age Barcelona, also published by University of Toronto Press.

Davidson's study is both a letter of introduction of Catalan modernism to the critical history of the global avant-garde and a transportation to a vitally creative and provocative lost age. - Marc Caplan (Hispanic Review, vol 78:04:10) ‘Davidson’s Jazz Age Barcelona is an exemplary study of the relationships between print and popular culture in Barcelona… Scholars of European, Spanish, or Catalan history, media, and print culture, and the fascinating interwar period will certainly enjoy Davidson’s analysis, literary style, and presentation.’ - Julia Hudson-Richards (Canadian Journal of History: vol45 : Autumn 2010) 'This book accomplishes a number of important objectives. It succeeds in introducing English speakers to largely unknown Catalan writers and their works and shows how broader cultural movements influenced the cultural life of at least one Spanish city. The book also contributes to a growing literature focused on the relationship between urban space and cultural production.' - Brian D. Bunk (American Historical review: April 2011) ‘Davidson’s book is strongly recommended to anyone with an interest in Catalonia and Spain in the early twentieth century, and will be of use to those studying the Europe of the time.’- Richard Mansell (Modern Language Review; vol 108:02:2013)
