Trygve Thoreson's parallel biography places their lives and careers within a panoramic history of the late 1800s and early 1900s. Thoreson delves into their influences while bringing to life the social, intellectual, and cultural milieus of their time. Unearthing a wealth of personal details, Thoreson pays particular attention to the influences that formed Burnham and Sullivan and shaped not only their designs but their conception of themselves as artists. He also examines the confluence of historical forces that pulled the two men together and pushed them apart--a fruitful back-and-forth that built surprising links into their work and steered world architecture in bold new directions. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAn engaging piece of nonfiction storytelling, \u003ci\u003eDaniel Burnham and Louis Sullivan\u003c\/i\u003e reveals new facets of the architects' personal, intellectual, and artistic lives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Trygve Thoreson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e 3 Fields Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/24\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.19lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.28h x 7.87w x 0.84d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780252089183\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrygve Thoreson\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor Emeritus of English and Humanities at William Rainey Harper College.
