Críticas

This book is carefully researched and beautifully illustrated and aimed at as broad an audience as possible. The text moves brightly and sharply. It encompasses both Robert Adam and the Emperor Diocletian linking them up in the gorgeous interiors of Syon House, Osterely House and Kedleston Hall. --The Tablet Sept. 2013

If you are looking for an introductory guide to Robert Adam and to the Emperor Diocletian look no further this lively book is ideal for both amateur and professional historians as she seeks to link Adam's early continental inspiration with the age of the tetrarchs. --The Art Newspaper December 2013

This ingeniously structured book looks at Robert Adam's recording of Diocletian's Palace. His visit there in 1757 was difficult,Adam was looked upon as a spy and allowed only a short stay. The book took seven years to produce and is an intriguing story. --Country Life July 2013
