Beskrivning
Dealing with a complex king, this edited collection elucidates a monarch’s vision of Rome that deeply affected his political choices and cultural policy during the first half of the eighteenth-century. John V of Portugal became king in 1707 in a pivotal moment for the European balance of power. The Kingdom of Portugal was still demanding the same privileges as its powerful neighbours and the relation with Rome was considered a vehicle to obtain them. Arts and music had a special and unprecedented place in the king’s plans and this book approaches that dynamic from several interdisciplinary perspectives.The unifying thread across this book’s chapters remains the omnipresence of Rome as a paradigm on several levels: political, religious, intellectual, artistic, and musical. Rather than providing an exhaustive analysis of the period as a whole, this study offers a fresh approach for English readers to this classic, but little known, topic in Portuguese national historiography.

Recensioner i media

'Meticulously researched and well presented, this new book of studies successfully blends diplomatic, artistic, and cultural history, masterfully evoking a period which has often been studied, yet rarely with the depth that these new scholars bring to the table. The sheer variety of sources, both archival and printed, bring to light hitherto unconsidered facets of this fascinating period and monarch.' James W. Nelson Novoa, Journal of Early Modern History
