"Winner of the 1997 Award for Best Professional/Scholarly Book in
Architecture and Urban Planning, Association of American
Publishers"
"One of Choice's Outstanding Academic Titles for 1996"
"Scrupulously researched, elegantly written (with a refreshing lack
of jargon), beautifully illustrated and designed . . . the book is
a feast for eye and mind, challenging assumptions and deepening
understanding on almost every page. . . . Wright's ability to
translate the poetic essence of a place into form was unrivaled,
and no one has explored it with more insight than Levine."
*The Architects' Journal*
"A major publication, a benchmark study not only of Wright's career
but of architectural history as well. . . . A magnum opus by one of
the most highly regarded architectural historians of our day."
*Choice*
"He [Wright] created beauty, a serene beauty of space--new,
undemocratic and unapologetic--a beauty springing from the deepest
resonance of man and nature. The strength of Levine's book is that
he explains exactly how and why he did it, with a wealth of
illustration."---Joe Berridge, Toronto Globe & Mail
"A monumental project. . . This book, rather than any extant Wright
biography, is the source for those who want to know about the
immensity and worth of the accomplishments of Frank Lloyd
Wright."
*Library Journal*
"Wright's personal history was extraordinary by any standards, and
it is the great strength of Neil Levine's book that he manages to
correlate the developments in Wright's architecture with the events
in his life, without being sentimental or over-reverent."---Andrew
Ballantyne, The Times Literary Supplement
