This major new text presents a collection of recent writings on architecture and urbanism in the United States, with topics ranging from colonial to contemporary times. In terms of content and scope, there is no collection, in or out of print, directly comparable to this one. The essays are drawn from the past twenty years' of publishing in the field, arranged chronologically from colonial to contemporary and accessible in thematic groupings, contextualized and introduced by Keith Eggener.

Drawing together 24 illustrated essays by major and emerging scholars in the field, American Architectural History is a valuable resource for students of the history of American art, architecture, urbanism, and material culture.


Keith L. Eggener teaches American art and architectural history at the University of Missouri-Columbia. He is the author of Luis Barragan's Gardens of El Pedregal (Princeton Architectural Press) and is assistant editor of the Buildings of the United States series (Oxford University Press/Society of Architectural Historians).
