Description

Book Synopsis
An interdisciplinary volume of literary and cultural scholarship that examines the link between two pivotal intellectual and artistic figures. The book probes the degree to which the transcendentalist author influenced the architect’s campaign against dominant strains of American thought.

Trade Review
Part intellectual biography and part history of American architecture, Ayad Rahmani's book is a rich and engaging exploration of Frank Lloyd Wright's philosophical scaffolding. Rahmani demonstrates, in particular, the centrality of Ralph Waldo Emerson's contributions to Wright's worldview and his architectural theories and craft." - Scott Slovic, University Distinguished Professor of Environmental Humanities, University of Idaho
