Very much in the tradition of John H. Elliott and Jonathan Brown's celebrated work A Palace for a King, Thomas combines art history with solid archival research to demonstrate how architecture served as a prominent tool of statecraft in the early modern period. As Thomas argues, eighteenth-century Naples became 'the capital where Caroline architecture most effectively built the city as well as the state.' --Michael J. Levin, Bulletin for Spanish and Portuguese Historical Studies
