A man of many talents and disciplines, Frank Lloyd Wright is arguably one of the most creative architects of the 20th century. Even before he was born, his mother, Anna Lloyd Jones claimed that her child would build beautiful buildings. To prepare for Wright’s arrival, Jones decorated his nursery with engravings of English Cathedrals from periodicals to motivate him as an infant. On June 8, 1867, Lloyd was born in Richland Center, Wisconsin. However, after three years, the family moved to Weymouth Massachusetts because Wright’s Father, William Wright, was a baptist minister who wanted to minster a small congregation.
While living in Weymouth, Jones bought a set of educational blocks designed by Friedrich Wilhelm August Fröbel known as Froebel gifts. Known for the different colors and shapes, Jones hoped that it would spark some kind of creativity in Wright. Fortunately, it did. Wright distinctly remembers playing with the blocks and wrote in his autobiography about it. He writes, “For several years I sat at the little Kindergarten table-top… and played… with the cube, the sphere and the triangle—these smooth wooden maple blocks… All are

While living here, William Wright became busy working as a secretary to a Unitarian society and giving music lessons to whoever asked. As a result, Frank Wright rarely saw his father, but they still shared a love for music. Very slowly, William Wright was unable to provide for his family and Jones became unhappy because of this. When Frank Wright was fourteen years old, William Wright and Anna Jones separated. Unfortunately, William was able to sue Jones for lack of physical affection. Once the divorce was finalized, William Wright left Wisconsin and Frank Wright never saw his father again. It was at this point where Frank Wright changed his name from Frank Lincoln Wright to Frank Lloyd Wright to honor his mother’s
After the Civil War, life in the United States was slowly changing, from its rural and tired war torn state into an imperial powerhouse. The country was not very active in foreign affairs and was content with its isolationist views. Until, the United States started thinking more of their political values and their belief in being “ordained by God to expand its territory,” which I believe is ridiculous but they were very religious 100 years ago. They believed God gave them the right and ability to obtain territories and expand west and south. Many business leaders and political men agreed with these ideals and intended utilize foreign countries for their raw materials. This would result in
Frank Lloyd Wright was born Richland Center, Wisconsin on June 8th, 1867. He was the son of William Carey Wright, a local orator and minister, and Anna Lloyd Jones, a school teacher. Wright's parents were both resolute individuals with eccentric interests that they inherently passed on to him. When Wright was about three years old, his family moved to Weymouth, Massachusetts; William was given the opportunity to be the minister of a small congregation. However, the Wright family struggled in Weymouth and they returned to Wisconsin. Eventually they settled in Madison, Wisconsin where the Wright family participated as active members of the local Unitarian congregation. When Wright turned 14, his parents divorced; their money problems likely led to the demise of the marriage. William Wright

In doing my research on Henry Wadsworth Longfellow I have composed my essay into four parts. First, I started off by describing Henry’s early childhood all the way to old age. Then, I went on to giving a description of what the Romantic Period was. After that, I explicated his poem Flower-De-Luce and talked about how it fit the Romantic Period.

In the 1940’s, several writers unintentionally influenced the emergence of the “Wright School”. William Attaway, Chester Himes, Frank Yerby, and Ann Petry are responsible for the coining of this term (98).

This new school attracted numerous citizens, including the writers of the Realism, Naturalism, and Modernism periods. Few people questioned the concepts and awarded credit that was associated with the “Wright School”.
