John Nichols's The Progresses of Queen Elizabeth (1788-1823) has
long been an indispensable reference tool for scholars working on
Elizabethan court and culture - despite the serious limitations of
an antiquarian edition now two centuries old. This old-spelling
edition of the early modern materials contained in Nichols's
Progresses is edited to high and consistent standards, and based on
a critical re-examination of printed and manuscript sources. It is
structured by a narrative of the two sets of annual progresses
undertaken by Queen Elizabeth I: the 'summer progresses, ' when
Elizabeth travelled throughout southern England and the Midlands,
visiting cities as far afield as Bristol, Coventry, Norwich, and
Southampton; and the 'winter progresses, ' when Elizabeth moved
between her residences in and around London, including Richmond,
Hampton Court, and Whitehall. New editions of the major progress
entertainments - Kenilworth, Woodstock, Elvetham, Cowdray,
Ditchley, and Harefield - are set alongside accounts of civic
receptions, tilts and Accession Day entertainments, and
non-dramatic texts, many of which have not been published since
Nichols, including verses delivered by Eton scholars before the
Queen (1563); John Lesley's Oratio (1574); Gabriel Harvey's
Gratulationum Valdinensium (1578); and the Oxford and Cambridge
verses on the death of Queen Elizabeth (1603). The editions are
supported by translations of all non-English material, full
scholarly annotation, illustrations, and maps. This will make John
Nichols's The Progresses and Public Processions of Queen Elizabeth:
A New Edition of the Early Modern Sources the most comprehensive
collection of early modern texts pertaining to the court and
culture of Queen Elizabeth.

More than any other English monarch before or since, Queen Elizabeth I used her annual progresses to shape her royal persona and to bolster her popularity and authority. During the spring and summer, accompanied by her court, Elizabeth toured southern England, the Midlands, and parts of the West Country, staying with private and civic hosts, and at the universities of Oxford and Cambridge. The progresses provided hosts with unique opportunities to impress and influence the Queen, and became occasions for magnificent and ingenious entertainments and pageants, drawing on the skills of architects, artists, and craftsmen, as well as dramatic performances, formal orations, poetic recitations, parades, masques, dances, and bear baiting. The Progresses, Pageants, and Entertainments of Queen Elizabeth I is an interdisciplinary essay collection, drawing together new and innovative work by experts in literary studies, history, theatre and performance studies, art history, and antiquarian studies. As such, it will make a unique and timely contribution to research on the culture and history of Elizabethan England. Chapters include examinations of some of the principal Elizabethan progress entertainments, including the coronation pageant Veritas temporis filia (1559), Kenilworth (1575), Norwich (1578), Cowdray (1591), Bisham (1592), and Harefield (1602), while other chapters consider the themes raised by these events, including the ritual of gift-giving; the conduct of government whilst on progress; the significance of the visual arts in the entertainments; regional identity and militarism; elite and learned women as hosts; the circulation and publication of entertainment and pageant texts; the afterlife of the Elizabethan progresses, including their reappropriation in Caroline England and the documenting of Elizabeth's reign by late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century antiquarians such as John Nichols, who went on to compile the monumental The Progresses of Queen Elizabeth (1788-1823).
