Alexander Harper, Postdoctoral Fellow, Bryn Mawr College, will introduce his current work, an architectural, urban, and institutional history of royal urban projects in the late medieval Kingdom of Naples. Titled Angevin New Towns: Studies in Medieval Colonialism, the book manuscript (from which the talk is drawn) focuses specifically on the problem of architectural circulation and the use and meaning of vernacular architectures employed throughout these towns during a period of sustained and widespread royal building activity from roughly 1268 until 1343.
