Court masques were multi-media entertainments, with song, dance,
theater, and changeable scenery, staged annually at the English
court to celebrate the Stuart dynasty. They have typically been
regarded as frivolous and expensive entertainments. This book
dispels this notion, emphasizing instead that they were embedded in
the politics of the moment, and spoke in complex ways to the
different audiences who viewed them. Covering the whole period from
Queen Anne s first masque at Winchester in 1603 to Salmacida Spolia
in 1640, Butler looks in depth at the political functions of state
festivity. The book contextualizes masque performances in intricate
detail, and analyzes how they shaped, managed, and influenced the
public face of the Stuart kingship. Butler presents the masques as
a vehicle through which we can read the early Stuart court s
political aspirations and the changing functions of royal culture
in a period of often radical instability.
