Abstract

This indispensable new resource is the first English-language anthology of historic preservation theory with an international perspective. It includes close to 100 essential texts spanning three centuries of preservation discourse and theory, from the Enlightenment to the present, each with a critical introduction by the editor. Unique in its geographic and temporal breadth, it shows how ideas stemming from disciplines such as jurisprudence, architecture, art, planning, psychoanalysis, philosophy, and many others were woven together over time into what we now call historic preservation. This anthology offers classic texts from influential thinkers and schools of thought from the United States, China, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, Russia, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Austria, Czech Republic, Spain, Italy, Greece, Egypt, Mexico, Brazil, Australia, and more. This anthology begins to break down the disciplinary, nationalist and linguistic barriers that have limited the study of preservation theory as it also includes many first-ever English translations of foundational texts, such as Henri Gregoire's "Report on the Destructions Brought About by Vandalism, and on the Means to Suppress It" (1794), which not only coined the word "vandalism" but also served as the intellectual impetus for the creation of a national heritage protection bureaucracy under France's revolutionary government. Other first translations include Georg Dehio's "Monument Protection and Monument Preservation in the Nineteenth Century" (1905), which shaped modern preservation in Germany; Gustavo Giovannoni's "The Theory of Pruning" (1931), which changed the paradigm of how to modernize historic centers in Italy, and Liang Sicheng's "Why We Must Research Chinese Traditional Architecture" (1944). The texts are presented chronologically, with introductions by the editor that contextualize each thinker's contribution to the development of historic preservation theory.

Abstract

Constantijn Huygens was a poet, composer and connoisseur of art and the classics. He was also secretary and confidant to three princes of Orange for 62 years. Hofwijck was also the place where Constantijn's son Christiaan spent a significant part of his life. Christiaan Huygens was a member of the Royal Society of London for the Improvement of Natural Knowledge and became one of the greatest inventors and scientists. At the end of his life, at Hofwijck, he wrote Cosmotheoros, his magnum opus on the universe. At Huygens's Hofwijck we look at the seventeenth century through the eyes of these two versatile men. With Constantijn and Christiaan, the story is about literature, art, music, politics, the House of Orange, science and life at a seventeenth-century country estate.
