"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.
