The Intellectual Versus the City: From Thomas Jefferson to Frank Lloyd Wright (Harvard University Press, 1962), by Morton White, Professor Emeritus in the School of Historical Studies, and Lucia Perry White, is an examination of anti-urbanism in American thought throughout history. In exploring the role of the city in American society and consciousness, one marked by apprehension and hostility, White and White present a focused philosophical study of culture by way of prevailing social values and attitudes toward urban environments.
