Henry James, Beatrix Farrand, and Landscape Architecture

Henry James was a significant cultural presence during the golden age of American landscape gardening and the progressive reform era that proposed landscape architecture as a ‘new art.’ In this discussion, we will explore James’s decades-long friendship with Beatrix Farrand, the noted American landscape gardener and founding member of the American Society of Landscape Architects.

Join us for this program with speakers John Dixon Hunt, University of Pennsylvania, and Thaisa Way, University of Washington.
