Mills, Cynthia. "The Adams Memorial and American Funerary Sculpture, 1891-1927," Department of Art History and Archaeology, University of Maryland, College Park, April 1996.
This dissertation examines the production, reception by various audiences, and imitation of the Adams monument, completed in 1891 by Augustus Saint-Gaudens with an architectural setting by Stanford White. The enigmatic sculpture, commissioned by Henry Adams for Rock Creek Cemetery in Washington, D.C., was among the first of a new breed of cathartic bronze funerary monuments that appeared in a period of changing cemetery landscape design and shifting attitudes about death, faith, gender, and family relations. Case studies of later monuments in Washington, Baltimore, Chicago, St. Louis, and Montpelier, Vermont, are included.
