Editor's Note:
From back cover:Nineteenth-century man in the Western world seems to have been involved in a multidirectional search for new "forms" among a bewildering variety of alternatives. Science, technology, religion, the economic structure, and the political and social order - all were undergoing radical and disruptive change. This search for form is reflected impressively in the field of architecture, combining as it does technology, economics, and aesthetics.This anthology seeks to reflect in its selections from nearly thirty writers the variety, confusion, and evolution of attitudes that reached a climax in the work of Henry Hobson Richardson, Louis Sullivan, and Frank Lloyd Wright at the end of the nineteenth century. It also tries to present a microcosm for a study in the history of ideas and in the history of culture - an example of how a complex but identifiable concept was imported from Europe, how it underwent transformations in this country, and how subsequently it was exported to Europe before World War I, only to be reimported, ironically enough, as "modern architecture" in the 1930's.There are five main divisions in this volume: "Prologue in Europe (1750-1825)," "The Confluence of Ideas (1820-1865)," "The New Technology (1820-1880)," "Coordination of Theory and Practice (1880-1910)," and "Reaction in America and Epilogue in Europe (1893-1920)." The editor has provided a general introduction, an introduction for each section, background material for each writer, a bibliography, and 42 excellent illustrations.
