Architecture and ekphrasis examines how eighteenth-century prints
and drawings of antique architecture operated as representations of
thought. Using original archival material, it considers the idea of
the past in the period, specifically how it was discovered and
described, and investigates how space and time inform visual
ekphrasis or descriptions of architecture. The idea of embodiment
is used to explore the various methods of describing architecture -
including graphic techniques, measurement and perspective - all of
which demonstrate choices about different modes of ekphrasis. This
well-illustrated, accessibly written study will be of interest to
academics and students working in a broad range of subject areas.
It will also be an essential teaching tool for increasingly popular
cross-disciplinary courses. -- .
