Résumé:
The Cape Cod cottage has been one of America's most popular home styles for almost four hundred years. While a perennial domestic favorite, historians have long ignored the modest Cape Cod, relegating it to a vernacular footnote along with barns and mills. In "The Cape Cod cottage" architectural historian and photographer William Morgan places this uniquely American house—a remarkable combination of necessity and tradition—in its historical context and makes a compelling argument for the reassessment of its place in the history of American architecture. "The Cape Cod cottage" follows the uniquely American house type from its earliest beginnings in the colonial period, through its spread across New England, to its embrace as a suburban ideal in the twentieth century, and its reinterpretation by contemporary architects. Historical images of lost Capes augment new photographs taken specifi- cally for the book. Foreword by Daniel V. Scully.

Résumé:
The publication features essays by twelve authors grouped in four parts. It represents a major advance in the study of nineteenth century photographic representations of Indian architecture and a benchmark in the study of post-colonial history. Collectively, the authors demonstrate how photographs can be read not just as records of an architectural past, but as complex artefacts of the cultural and political forces shaping colonial India. Contributors include CCA Associate Curator Maria Antonella Pelizzari; art historian Stephen Bann; historians of photography Julia Ballerini, John Falconer and Janet Dewan; historical anthropologist Nicholas Dirks; political theorist Partha Chatterjee; colonial historians Tapati Guha-Thakurta and Peter H. Hoffenberg, Narayani Gupta and Thomas R. Metcalf; and anthropologist Christopher Pinney.
