John Nichols's The Progresses of Queen Elizabeth (1788-1823) has
long been an indispensable reference tool for scholars working on
Elizabethan court and culture - despite the serious limitations of
an antiquarian edition now two centuries old. This old-spelling
edition of the early modern materials contained in Nichols's
Progresses is edited to high and consistent standards, and based on
a critical re-examination of printed and manuscript sources. It is
structured by a narrative of the two sets of annual progresses
undertaken by Queen Elizabeth I: the 'summer progresses, ' when
Elizabeth travelled throughout southern England and the Midlands,
visiting cities as far afield as Bristol, Coventry, Norwich, and
Southampton; and the 'winter progresses, ' when Elizabeth moved
between her residences in and around London, including Richmond,
Hampton Court, and Whitehall. New editions of the major progress
entertainments - Kenilworth, Woodstock, Elvetham, Cowdray,
Ditchley, and Harefield - are set alongside accounts of civic
receptions, tilts and Accession Day entertainments, and
non-dramatic texts, many of which have not been published since
Nichols, including verses delivered by Eton scholars before the
Queen (1563); John Lesley's Oratio (1574); Gabriel Harvey's
Gratulationum Valdinensium (1578); and the Oxford and Cambridge
verses on the death of Queen Elizabeth (1603). The editions are
supported by translations of all non-English material, full
scholarly annotation, illustrations, and maps. This will make John
Nichols's The Progresses and Public Processions of Queen Elizabeth:
A New Edition of the Early Modern Sources the most comprehensive
collection of early modern texts pertaining to the court and
culture of Queen Elizabeth.
Volume V contains the appendices, bibliographies, and index.
