Frank Lloyd Wright - Europe & Beyond

"This collection of essays on the international impact of Frank Lloyd Wright is a volume that has long been needed. All the contributors are authorities in their fields. The book is exceptionally well edited and illustrated. Highly recommended."American Architecture comes of Age""Frank Lloyd Wright: Europe and Beyond moves architectural history beyond its conventional boundaries. The book opens up new dimensions in our understanding of Wright's own oeuvre (the creation of the architecture, the persona, and the myth) and of the broader patterns of transnational influence in the modern world."--Gwendolyn Wright, author of "Moralism and the Model Home"Alofsin's book solidly rounds out the recent wave of scholarly reappraisal of Wright's work, shedding light on the far reaches of the architect's influence across the globe as well as revealing the many references in Wright's work whose sources can only be found overseas."--Terence Riley, Chief Curator of Architecture and Design, The Museum of Modern Art, New York
