Marriage, Performance, and Politics at the Jacobean Court
constitutes the first full-length study of Jacobean nuptial
performance, a hitherto unexplored branch of early modern theater
consisting of masques and entertainments performed for high-profile
weddings. Scripted by such writers as Ben Jonson, Thomas Campion,
George Chapman, and Francis Beaumont, these entertainments were
mounted for some of the most significant political events of
James's English reign. Here Kevin Curran analyzes all six of the
elite weddings celebrated at the Jacobean court, reading the
masques and entertainments that headlined these events alongside
contemporaneously produced panegyrics, festival books, sermons,
parliamentary speeches, and other sources. The study shows how,
collectively, wedding entertainments turned the idea of union into
a politically versatile category of national representation and
offered new ways of imagining a specifically Jacobean form of
national identity by doing so.
