In spite of much effort, it was not till after the publication of Stuart's Athens, in 1761, and of Adam's Spalatro — a statistical description, with many plates, of the palace of Diocletian — in 1757, that the reign of pure and severe classicism began in England, although Inigo Jones, Sir Christopher Wren, and Sir John Vanbrugh had all done their best.

After the Middle Ages the palace was virtually unknown in the West until the Scottish neo-classical architect Robert Adam had the ruins surveyed and, with the aid of French artist and antiquary Charles-Louis Clérisseau and several draughtsmen, published Ruins of the Palace of the Emperor Diocletian at Spalatro in Dalmatia ( London, 1764 ).

The writer of a 1797 review in The Monthly Review praised Radcliffe ’ s visual and descriptive language in the novel, citing “ the part … which displays the greatest genius, and the most force of description, is the account of the scenes which passed in the long house on the shore of the Adriatic, between Schedoni, Ellena, and Spalatro :-The horrible sublimity which characterizes the discovery made by the former that Ellena was his daughter, at the instant in which he was about to stab her, was perhaps unparalleled .” This style of ‘ painting the sublime ’ reflects the preference for allegorical or transcendent imagery over physical or realistic imagery in the Gothic literary and artistic period.

Spalatro has a typically Gothic Italian setting, featuring a bandit as hero, à la Ann Radcliffe ( whose 1797 novel The Italian includes a repentant minor villain of the same name ).

The writer of an 1827 review in the United States Review and Literary Gazette declares his belief that The Italian is Radcliffe ’ s " greatest work ," paying particular reverence to the " masterly dialogues " in several key scenes, including the interview between Marchesa and Schedoni in the church of San Nicolo as well as the discussion between Schedoni and Spalatro, in which the later refuses to murder Ellena.
