'From the Renaissance through the Victorian era, architects mused on the surviving ekphrastic descriptions of the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus, producing imaginative reconstructions and original designs. The essays comprising this volume explore key moments in the rich afterlife of a major monument, illuminating its place in the history of western architecture.' John Pinto, Princeton University
