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.
