This work offers a new portrayal of Queen Maria Carolina of Naples
as a woman of power with weaknesses and ambitions, and analyzes the
Queen's actions, from her political choices to her alliance and
betrayals. A careful examination of the period (1781-1785) covered
by the diary shows that the daily life of the Queen and offers key
evidence of her political acumen and her personal relationships.
Recca cross-analyses unpublished personal documents, which include
the integral diary and private correspondence. The book focuses on
the political influence that Queen Maria Carolina wielded beside
her husband, King Ferdinand IV, and the criticism that has been
made by contemporary historians and intellectuals who have often
tended to discredit the sovereign for personal rather than
political reasons.
