Marketing Modernisms: The Architecture and Influence of Charles Reilly

Architecture and design historian Richmond reconsiders architect Reilly (1874-1948) in light of postmodern thought, if for other reason than to investigate why he has been so thoroughly ignored or marginalized by Modernist historians. In a revision of his doctoral degree for Liverpool University, he locates Reilly within the development of architectural theory in the first half of the 20th century, and his role in the broader context of the national and international stylistic movement of the period and the narrower lanes of Liverpool's cultural and social life.
