Worsley challenges conventional assumptions about one of Englands greatest and most influential classical architects. Traditionally, Inigo Jones has been looked upon as an isolated figure in European architecture, still espousing the Palladian ideals of the16th century when European contemporaries were turning to the Baroque. Yet an investigation of contemporary European architecture and of Joness buildings demonstrates that Jones must be viewed in the context of a European-wide, early-17th-century classicist movement.
