The tradition of using architectural allegory to symbolize religious and ideological systems can be found within many cultures, from antiquity to the end of the Middle Ages. (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)Subject
Notes
- "Castles of the Mind identifies and traces two primary traditions of symbolic textual architecture - Christian and classicizing - from antiquity until the end of the Middle Ages. It charts the evolution of the architectural metaphor over time, in relation to social, political and religious contexts, and offers a wealth of information on secular and devotional allegory."–BOOK JACKET
