Pageantry and power is the first full and in-depth cultural history
of the Lord Mayor's Show in the early modern period. It provides
new insight into the culture and history of the London of
Shakespeare's time and beyond. Central to the cultural life of
London, the Lord Mayor's Shows were high-profile and lavish
entertainments produced by some of the most talented writers of the
time. Employing an interdisciplinary approach, Pageantry and power
explores various important factors, including the relationship
between the printed texts of the Shows and actual events. This
full-scale study of the civic works of important writers enhances
our understanding of their other, often better-known, dramatic
works contributing to a fuller estimation of their literary
careers. This book is an invaluable resource for scholars and
students of early modern literature, drama, history, civic culture,
pageantry, urban studies, cultural geography, book history, as well
as the interested general reader. Pageantry and power won the 2011
David Bevington Award for the Best New Book in Early Drama Studies.
