Reviews

"This important volume identifies the Colonial Revival as the most widespread and persistent (and perhaps the most mischaracterized and underappreciated) cultural impulse in the history of American art and design. These essays address the pressing need for more scholarship on this varied and durable expression, and they explore the role of Colonial Revival in the construction and preservation of American history and identity. Wilson and Eyring have made a substantial contribution to our understanding of twentieth-century American design that will be of particular interest to those in the field of historic preservation.--Ethan CarrUniversity of Massachusetts, author of Wilderness by Design

Re-creating the American Past, a genuinely major achievement, provides a rich and fresh look at the diversity, complexity, and pervasive appeal of the Colonial revival in American cultural life. These essays and well-documented case studies offer us a kaleidoscopic vision of the multifaceted phenomenon. This volume is an invaluable resource that will be admired and mined for decades to come.--Michael Kammen, Cornell University, past president of the Organization of American Historians
