Description:
The author of the first monograph on an American architect, Mariana Griswold Van Rensselaer was the preeminent architectural critic of her day and in many ways defined the field of writing on buildings for much of the 20th century. Also a poet, fiction writer, and translator, Von Rensselaer turned her observant eye and her sharp pen on the urban upheavals that accompanied the Gilded Age. She produced, among other things, scathing attacks on empty social rituals as well as keen essays on the architect-client relationships and brilliant appreciations of the grandest structures of the early 20th century. This collection, edited by the architectural historian David Gebhard, will give many contemporary Americans their first introduction to one of the brilliant architectural writers of the first half of the 20th century.
