The Intellectual Versus The City: From Thomas Jefferson To Frank Lloyd Wright is a book written by Morton Gabriel White. The book explores the tension between the intellectual and the city, tracing the history of this conflict from Thomas Jefferson to Frank Lloyd Wright. White argues that intellectuals have long been suspicious of the city, seeing it as a place of corruption and decay, while the city has often been dismissive of intellectuals, viewing them as impractical and disconnected from the real world. The book examines how this tension has played out in American history, from Jefferson's vision of an agrarian society to Wright's vision of a new kind of urbanism. White also looks at how the tension between the intellectual and the city has been reflected in art, literature, and popular culture, and how it continues to shape our understanding of urban life today. Overall, The Intellectual Versus The City is a thought-provoking exploration of a complex and enduring conflict that has shaped American culture and society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
