American architecture of the Romantic Period- the earlier nineteenth century- produced many strange and many charming buildings and a notably wide variety of ideas about architecture. Men as diverse as Nathaniel Hawthorne, Thomas Jefferson, the sculptor Horatio Greenough and the landscape gardener Andrew Jackson Downing concerned themselves with the art of building. During this period, architecture underwent a revolution as great as that which took place during the Renaissance, and the currents of tast moved rapidly and, at times, wildly. Traditional methods of building and of seeing were discarded and new ones arose which were to lead directly toward the new architecture of the twentieth century. The opening portion of this book is concerned with the classical revivals and their roots in the politics, psychology, and historical consciousness of the times. Later the focus shifts to the effects of the Romantic reverence for nature upon architectural styles, forms, and materials. Another chapter concentrates on the Gothic revival and the theories of functionalism engendered by it. The concluding section of the work examines the impact of nationalism and the role of iron and glass, the revolutionary building materials at mid-century, upon conventional architectural conceptions -- Provided by publisher.

Originally published in 1929, this book demonstrates the architecture of the 1920s as the product of over a century of architectural development, despite the visual evidence that seemed to indicate that it had made a radical break with the past. Modern Architecture crystallised the history and theories behind the international style for an American audience. Hitchcock was only 27 at the time, and Modern Architecture was his first book; yet it would substantially reshape the way subsequent generations would view modern architecture and its history. Furthermore, Modern Architecture is the book that would establish Henry-Russell Hitchcock as a pre-eminent American historian of modern architecture.

For most of the twentieth century, modernist viewers dismissed the architectural ornament of Louis H. Sullivan (1856-1924) and the majority of his theoretical writings as emotional outbursts of an outmoded romanticism. In this study, Lauren Weingarden reveals Sullivan's eloquent articulation of nineteenth-century romantic practices - literary, linguistic, aesthetic, spiritual, and nationalistic - and thus rescues Sullivan and his legacy from the narrow role imposed on him as a pioneer of twentieth-century modernism. Using three interpretive models, discourse theory, poststructural semiotic analysis, and a pragmatic concept of sign-functions, she restores the integrity of Sullivan's artistic choices and his historical position as a culminating figure within nineteenth-century romanticism. By giving equal weight to Louis Sullivan's writings and designs, Weingarden shows how he translated both Ruskin's tenets of Gothic naturalism and Whitman's poetry of the American landscape into elemental structural forms and organic ornamentation. Viewed as a site where various romantic discourses converged, Sullivan's oeuvre demands a cross-disciplinary exploration of each discursive practice, and its "rules of accumulation, exclusion, reactivation." The overarching theme of this study is the interrogation and restitution of those Foucauldian rules that enabled Sullivan to articulate architecture as a pictorial mode of landscape art, which he considered co-equal with the spiritual and didactic functions of landscape poetry.

American Gothic Art and Architecture in the Age of Romantic Literature analyses the impact British Gothic novels and historical romances had on American art and architecture in the Romantic era. Key figures include Thomas Jefferson, Washington Allston, Alexander Jackson Davis, James Fenimore Cooper, Washington Irving, Thomas Cole, Edwin Forrest and Nathaniel Hawthorne. Hawthorne articulated the subject of this book when he wrote that he could understand Sir Walter Scott’s romances better after viewing Scott’s Gothic Revival house Abbotsford, and he understood the house better for having read the romances. This study investigates this symbiotic relationship between the arts and Gothic literature to reveal new interpretative possibilities. Contents Introduction Chapter One.

This book provides a comprehensive examination of one of the most important modernist traditions. Offering a new interpretation of its origins, Barbara Miller Lane focuses on the movement called 'National Romanticism', which flourished in Germany and Scandinavia from about 1890 to 1920. During this period, painters, interior designers, city planners and architects created a new kind of domestic architecture and interior design, as well as monumental architecture. Drawing upon local and regional folk traditions, and encouraging a simple way of life, architects such as Eliel Saarinen, Hans Poelzig, and Martin Nyrop, looked back to medieval and even prehistoric times for their models, as they also tried to create a new architecture for the new millennium. Their buildings encouraged new kinds of social and political relationships and have had a profound influence in the architecture of Germany and Scandinavia.

The Handbook of American Romanticism presents a comprehensive survey of the various schools, authors, and works that constituted antebellum literature in the United States. The volume is designed to feature a selection of representative case studies and to assess them within two complementary frameworks: the most relevant historical, political, and institutional contexts of the antebellum decades and the consequent (re-)appropriations of the Romantic period by academic literary criticism in the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries.

This study explores the Romantic architecture of Herman Melville's novels, more precisely Mardi, Redburn, Moby-Dick, and Pierre. Drawing on architectural history and Romantic theory, I argue that the treatment of architecture in Romantic writings is linked historically to the emergence and development of a new aesthetic space in the nineteenth century. When patronage declined in the latter part of the eighteenth century, the Romantics conceived an autonomous aesthetic realm independent of both the marketplace and of society's main institutions. This realm is often symbolized as an architectural object in Romantic texts, most typically as a temple. A thourough examination of the Romantic concept of the temple - its historical roots in Greek temple architecture, its interior organization, and the architectural styles typically linked to it - provides the foundation for a reassessment not only Melville's use of architecture but also of his relation to Romanticism.
