The masque had a brief but splendid life as the dominant mode of
entertainment at the early Stuart court, and it has increasingly
come to be recognized as a genre offering a fascinating insight
into the culture and politics of the early seventeenth century.
This selection of 18 masque for Charles I, performed just before
the outbreak of civil war. It also includes examples of
entertainments performed on royal progresses, as well as one
domestic masque. Court masques were extravagant multi-media
happenings, imbued with often arcane allegorical programmes by
writers and designers, and frequently commenting on tipical
political issues. In this, the most substantial available
selection, readers are offered the annotation necessary for
understanding the complexities of the individual texts. Under the
General Editorship of Michael Cordner, of the University of York,
the texts of the plays have been newly edited and are presented
with modernized spelling and punctuation. In addition to the
detailed notes there is a scholarly introduction, making this
edition invaluable to students of Renaissance drama and court
culture.
