By giving equal weight to Louis Sullivan's writings and designs, Lauren Weingarden reveals his eloquent articulation of nineteenth-century romantic practices-literary, linguistic, aesthetic, spiritual, and nationalistic. Her approach rescues Sullivan and his legacy from the narrow role imposed on him as a pioneer of twentieth-century modernism, restoring the integrity of his artistic choices and his historical position as a culminating figure within nineteenth-century romanticism.
