Description
An imaginative analysis of the interplay between rhetoric and physical space in the creation of the nation's capital.
First Sentence
The significance of speculation to the planning and early development of the Federal City, as Washington was first called, has been well documented by Bob Arnebeck and John W. Reps. Arnebeck notes that "understanding what the speculators did to the city <of Washington> is as crucial to understanding the city as studying what L'Enfant did or how the White House and Capitol were designed and built."
