This collection of Burgess's public talks and writings offers a
unique insight into the social and intellectual dimensions of
architecture and town planning during the first half of the
twentieth century. Architectural history, the impact of the Arts
and Crafts and Modernist movements, the meaning of domestic
architecture, and the connection of architecture and town planning
to everyday life figure prominently in this collection. A
contemporary of Cecil Burgess said that no one in Canada was
superior in architectural scholarship. Cecil Burgess was professor
of architecture and resident architect at the University of Alberta
between 1913 and 1940. A similar collection of writings and talks
has not been published about Canadian architecture for this period.
