Thesis (M.A.)--University of Delaware (Winterthur Program), 2002.

The Solitude has long been recognized for its importance in the spread of neo-classicism to America. Nonetheless, the house has never been the subject an in depth study. The craftsmen who labored to produce John Penn's vision have until this work escaped identification. Using a previously unexplored list of drafts, recorded on Penn's behalf by attorney Tench Francis, this thesis identifies the craftsmen and cabinetmakers patronized by Penn between 1784 and 1785. This work also draws on the 1774 accounts of the building of Lansdowne, the country house of Penn's older cousin, former governor John Penn. The two John Penns patronized many of the same craftsmen, but the younger Penn deviated in certain respects to ensure The Solitude's neo-classical character.

520 $a The house and garden created along the Schuylkill River outside Philadelphia was Penn's attempt to exert some control over his physical surroundings in the midst of an unfriendly political climate. Though built with the self-serving motive of providing him solace, The Solitude wielded an enormous influence on the spread of neo-classicism to America. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)
