Reviews
Reading buildings as texts is often the domain of the architectural historian, archaeologist, or semiotician. Connecting modernist movements in architecture to the literary world of Thoreau, Emerson, and other transcendentalists, Naomi Uechi's expertise as a literary critic brings a fresh perspective to our understanding of the built environment - and the world of these literary artists. - Gregory Hansen, Arkansas State University Evolving Transcendentalism in Literature and Architecture represents more than a decade's labor of love on the works and thought of Frank Lloyd Wright. With many original photographs of Wright's buildings and architectural details, Dr Uechi has crafted a volume rich with insights for scholars of architecture and literature alike. Evolving Transcendentalism will be of interest not only to Wright specialists, but to scholars working on Frank Furness, Louis Sullivan, Whitman, Emerson, Thoreau, and environmental architecture as well. - Lori Branch, University of Iowa
