Where was the chair of Mary Queen of Scots placed for her trial?
How was Smithfield set up for public executions? How many paces did
the King walk forward to meet a visiting ambassador in the Presence
Chamber at Greenwich? How were spectators arranged at tournaments?
And why did any of this matter? Janette Dillon adds a new dimension
to work on space and theatricality by providing a comparative
analysis of a range of spectacular historical events. She
investigates in detail the claim that early modern court culture
was always inherently performative, demonstrating how every kind of
performance was shaped by its own space and place. Using a range of
evidence, visual as well as verbal, and illustrated with some
unfamiliar as well as better known images, Dillon leads the reader
to general principles and conclusions via a range of minutely
observed case studies.
