Maritime Musicians and Performers on Early Modern English Voyages
aims to tell the full story of early English shipboard performers,
who have been historically absent from conversations about English
navigation, maritime culture, and economic expansion. Often
described reductively in voyaging accounts as having one function,
in fact maritime performers served many communicative tasks. Their
lives were not only complex, but often contradictory. Though not
high-ranking officers, neither were they lower-ranking mariners or
sailors. They were influenced by a range of competing cultural
practices, having spent time playing on both land and sea, and
their roles required them to mediate parties using music, dance,
and theatre as powerful forms of nonverbal communication. Their
performances transcended and breached boundaries of language, rank,
race, religion, and nationality, thereby upsetting conventional
practices, improving shipboard and international relations, and
ensuring the success of their voyages.
