The Power of Place: Rulers and Their Palaces, Landscapes, Cities, and Holy Places Hardcover - 2016
by David Rollason
From the rear cover
"A work of considerable learning and precise scholarship, The Power of Place demonstrates how rulers supported and extended power through the places from which they exercised it. I know of no other book that brings together this topic in such a comprehensive, systematic way. The book's breadth, accessibility, and illustrations make it attractive to a wide audience."--R. I. Moore, professor emeritus of history, Newcastle University
"This extremely ambitious and appealing book discusses an array of structures and building sites over time, from Roman antiquity to the end of the Middle Ages, and across the face of Western Europe. Richly illustrated, it impressively compiles a wide range of material from a variety of sources and succeeds in examining the nature of power through buildings. No other work on this subject covers this much information."--Charles B. McClendon, Brandeis University
