Civic Performance: Pageantry and Entertainments in Early Modern
London brings together a group of essays from across multiple
fields of study that examine the socio-cultural, political,
economic, and aesthetic dimensions of pageantry in sixteenth and
seventeenth-century London. This collection engages with modern
interest in the spectacle and historical performances of pageantry
and entertainments, including royal entries, progresses, coronation
ceremonies, Lord Mayor's Shows, and processions. Through a
discussion of the extant texts, visual records, archival material,
and emerging projects in the digital humanities, the chapters
elucidate the forms in which the period itself recorded its public
rituals, pageantry, and ephemeral entertainments. The diversity of
approaches contained in these chapters reflects the collaborative
nature of pageantry and civic entertainments, as well as the broad
socio-cultural resonances of this form of drama, and in doing so
offers a study that is multi-faceted and wide-ranging, much like
civic performance itself. Ideal for scholars of Early Modern global
politics, economics, and culture; literary and performance studies;
print culture; and the digital humanities, Civic Performance casts
a new lens on street pageantry and entertainments in the
historically and culturally significant locus of Early Modern
London.
