About this product

Product Information

The text fills a gap in the literature not only due to its global coverage, but also in its analyses of thorny questions such as: what was it about Ancient Egypt that inspired such Egyptianizing monuments, and was it just one idea, or several different ones which formed the basis of such activities? The book also asks why only certain images, such as obelisks and sphinxes, were incorporated within the movement. The authors explore how these monuments fitted into the local architecture of the time and, in this context, they investigate whether Egyptianizing architecture is an ongoing movement and, if so, how it differs from earlier activities of such a kind.
