Since the early twentieth century, Hyde Park has been known as a refuge and incubator for intellectual, artists, novelists, poets, and free thinkers. Its best known institution, the University of Chicago, drew many of these persons close to its boundaries with the promise of a steady diet of conflicting ideas and lofty conversations. This book, through 128 pages of 200 vintage images, focuses most of its attention on the period after World War II, all the way through the creation of the Hyde Park-Kenwood Urban Renewal project in the United States.
