Rome by James Bentley
This is a guide to Rome, its history, art, literature and personalities. In six tried-and-tested routes, the author explores the ancient city of Rome, how it has developed over 2500 years, and the personalities that have shaped it, tracing them in the buildings and monuments in which this city abounds. The thematic routes describe the ancient imperial city, the churches and palaces of the Renaissance, the fountains and gardens, and the lavish patronage of the Popes and princes. Specially commissioned photographs are intended to complement and enhance the text. Extensive appendices provide information on the city's rulers, artists, monuments and buildings, and times of opening.James Bentley (1937-2000) worked as a teacher, academic, historian, and Anglican priest, among other things. He was the Vicar of Oldham, Lancashire, Dean and Senior Chaplain at Eton College, Windsor, and the University of Sussex's Maurice Reckitt Research Fellow in Christian Social Philosophy.
