As Egyptomania swept over the West in the nineteenth century, a relatively young America began assimilating Egyptian culture into its own national identity, creating a hybrid national heritage that would affect the memorial landscape of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Far more than a study of Egyptian revivalism, this book examines the Egyptian style of commemoration from the rural cemetery to national obelisks to the Sphinx at Mount Auburn Cemetery.
