A critical guide to the English-language literature, Dutch
Modernism demonstrates the importance of the Dutch contribution to
20th-century architecture. Holland's valuable role in the creation
of modernism (1900-1940) was all but ignored until 30 years ago; it
is significant that more than a third of the English-language
literature has appeared since 1975. This guide is comprehensive; it
summarizes, describes, and evaluates 1,250 references in the light
of contemporary theory and practice. This work is of interest to
scholars, students, and practitioners. The introduction outlines
Holland's unique place in the development of international
Modernism, 1900-1940, and explores the phenomenon of its eventual
recognition in Britain and the United States. Although not an
exhaustive study, this work presents all the areas of study and
helpfully evaluates most entries, saving the user time and energy.
A number of Dutch publications have been included, some because
they are seminal theoretical works and others because they are rich
in images. As a guide to English-language sources, Dutch Modernism
reaches a wider audience than earlier Dutch and Italian
bibliographies.
