- Title
Civic Performance: Pageantry and Entertainments in Early Modern London.
- Authors
Jermy, Samuel
- Abstract
For readers interested in undertaking future work on the literary, historical and performance aspects of civic drama, Finlayson and Sen have collected a range of exciting frameworks for approaching the significance and challenges of understanding the civic pageants and entertainments in and around early modern London. Finlayson then considers the centrality of iconography to the multiple iterations of the printed pageant texts detailing James I's 1604 royal entry in the literary marketplace. Together, these collected essays gesture towards the aural, visual, textual, material and performative aspects of civic pageants and entertainments, and the role these spectacles have in producing and reshaping London's local and global identity.
