This concise, brilliant interpretation of the monumental art of the
Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan provides an excellent introduction to
the relation of political state and religious cosmos in
Mesoamerican traditions. Focusing his art-historical methods on the
formation of Tenochtitlan's monumental ensemble, Townsend expertly
reveals the intimate connection between historical consciousness
and commemoration and cosmological structure and dynamics in Aztec
architecture and ritual.
