Until now, scholarly analysis of Elizabethan processions has always
regarded them as having been successful in their function as
propaganda, and has always found them to have effectively 'won
over' the common people - that group of the population at whom they
were chiefly aimed. Both her Royal entries and progresses were
regarded as effective public relations exercises, the population
gaining access to the Queen and thus being encouraged to remain
loyal subjects. This book represents a new approach to this subject
by investigating whether this was actually the case - that is,
whether the common people were actually won over by these
spectacular rituals. By examining original documents that have thus
far been ignored, as well as re-examining others from the
perspective of the common people, the book casts a new light on
Elizabethan processions.

The Shakespeare Authorship question - the question of who wrote
Shakespeare's plays and who the man we know as Shakespeare was - is
a subject which fascinates millions of people the world over and
can be seen as a major cultural phenomenon. However, much
discussion of the question exists on the very margins of academia,
deemed by most Shakespearean academics as unimportant or, indeed,
of interest only to conspiracy theorists. Yet, many academics find
the Authorship question interesting and worthy of analysis in
theoretical and philosophical terms. This collection brings
together leading literary and cultural critics to explore the
Authorship question as a social, cultural and even theological
phenomenon and consider it in all its rich diversity and
significance. >
