Architectural Space and the Imagination: Houses in Literature and Art from Classical to Contemporary

Editat de Jane Griffiths, Adam Hanna
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 9 oct 2021
This book sheds light on the intimate relationship between built space and the mind, exploring the ways in which architecture inhabits and shapes both the memory and the imagination. Examining the role of the house, a recurrent, even haunting, image in art and literature from classical times to the present day, it includes new work by both leading scholars and early career academics, providing fresh insights into the spiritual, social, and imaginative significances of built space. Further, it reveals how engagement with both real and imagined architectural structures has long been a way of understanding the intangible workings of the mind itself.
