“…This suggests a specific date for the visit to Provence: Jones must have seen the antiquities of southern France when he visited the country in 1609 as a bearer of diplomatic letters. 18 The only dated statement we have of his activities in the country is a marginal comment in his Vitruvius that, 'being in Parris the yeare. 1609. a Prouancall maad a triall to make a Perpetuall mosio[n] but did not Reusire' (succeed).…”

Inigo Jones’s tour of Italy from 1613 to 1614 in the retinue of the Earl of Arundel has long been recognized as a turning point in the architect’s career and no account of his life has failed to mention it. But despite the fairly clear picture that has been formed of Jones’s movements in Italy, by collating the evidence of dated notes in his surviving books with that of letters referring to the progress of the Earl of Arundel, one aspect of the tour still presents a puzzle. It has been assumed that the return journey from Italy in 1614 was made through Provence. Notes by Jones in his copy of Andrea Palladio’s I Quattro Libri dell’Architettura (Venice, 1601) prove that he saw the two Roman temples at Nîmes and that he visited Arles. A sketch elevation in the Royal Institute of British Architects’ Drawings Collection shows that he went to the Pont du Gard (Pl. 7a); and a hitherto unpublished comment in his copy of Daniele Barbaro’s Commentary on Vitruvius at Chatsworth reveals that he saw the Roman theatre at Orange. But unlike many of the notes that Jones made on site in Italy, or made later recalling what he saw there, none of the Provence notes bears a date. Even the careful elevation of the Pont du Gard, which with its accompanying list of measurements would seem to be Jones’s most detailed study of an antique monument, is undated.

Originally published in 2005, this book provides a detailed study of the Children of the Queen's Revels, the most enduring and influential of the Jacobean children's companies. Between 1603 and 1613 the Queen's Revels staged plays by Francis Beaumont, George Chapman, John Fletcher, Ben Jonson, John Marston and Thomas Middleton, all of whom were at their most innovative when writing for this company. Combining theatre history and critical analysis, this study provides a history of the Children of the Queen's Revels, and an account of their repertory. It examines the 'biography' of the company - demonstrating the involvement in dramatic production of dramatists, shareholders, patrons, audiences and actors alike, and reappraising issues such as management, performance style and audience composition - before exploring their groundbreaking practices in comedy, tragicomedy and tragedy. The book also includes five documentary appendices detailing the plays, people and performances of the Queen's Revels Company.
