Charles Eliot

Résumé du livre

This richly detailed biography of Charles Eliot (1859–1897), one of the most important figures in American landscape history, was written by his father, president of Harvard College, in 1902, shortly after Eliot's death. Like his colleague and partner Frederick Law Olmsted, the younger Eliot was a brilliant innovator. Keith N. Morgan's introduction offers a critical reading of Eliot's life and new insights into an important chapter in American landscape history.
