Thomas Heywood’s Pageants
Published in 1986: This book is about the shows which were put on during the inauguration of new Mayors of London. Such pageants were processions through the city of London with tableaux vivants; some of the shows also included dramatic entertainment on the Thames.
Shakespeare and Sicily
Shakespeare's Much Ado about Nothing and The Winter's Tale share a common setting: Sicily. This article explores what that setting means in the plays by focusing on the issue of hospitality, which gets disrupted. A key element of hospitality is entertainment, which literarily means “to hold together.” But fractures occur in Sicily, leading to a breakdown of the social fabric. The center does not hold. In Much Ado about Nothing, for example, the w…
Textual Patronage in English Drama, 1570-1640
Through an investigation of the dedications and addresses from various printed plays of the English Renaissance, the author recuperates the richness of these prefaces and connects them to the practice of patronage. The prefatory matter discussed ranges from the printer John Day's address to readers (the first of its kind) in the 1570 edition of Gorboduc to Richard Brome's dedication to William Seymour and address to readers in his 1640 play, Anti…

Stuart Civic Pageants and Textual Performance
Playwrights increasingly intend the pageant texts for readers; these texts become commemorative books that both capture the event and add to it. They assume an expository and narrative function that sets them apart from the typical dramatic text. By examining the extant printed texts of Jacobean and Caroline Lord Mayor's Shows, I argue that these publications do not obliterate theatrical performance or displace it so much as they complete it. Dra…
Masculine Interpretation of Queen Anne, Wife of James I
For the past one hundred years historians have dismissed Queen Anne, wife of James I, as impulsive, frivolous, and insignificant. This interpretation reflects a masculine-based ideology that has recently been challenged by a feminist-oriented reevaluation of Anne as a politically skilled opponent of Jacobean patriarchy. This more balanced view is supported by references to Anne from the early seventeenth century

Representation in Renaissance English Civic Pageants
With a light snow falling, spectators crowded into the narrow streets of London on 14 January 1559, to watch Queen Elizabeth in her royal entry pageant as she moved from the Tower through the streets of the city. Some forty-five years later on 15 March 1604, citizens again gathered, this time to see the royal entry of King James I. What did these spectators come to see, what did they expect to see, what did they understand, and how did the dramat…

Venetian State Papers and English Civic Pageantry, 1558-1642
Attempting to recover what has been a largely ignored and vastly overlooked subject in theater history, Professor Glynne Wickham has demonstrated the importance of the study of civic pageantry as a natural part of the evolution of English drama. Wickham makes a most persuasive case for the significance of these dramatic entertainments as they contribute both technically and thematically to the regular stage of the English Renaissance, and he show…

Symbolic Landscape in English Civic Pageantry
Professor Erwin Panofsky in Studies in Iconology points to a particular device, ‘common in late-mediaeval and Renaissance painting,’ that ‘of dividing the landscape background into halves of symbolically contrasting character.’ This technique, Panofsky says, was 'frequent in religious pictures where the “Aera sub lege” is contrasted with the “Aera suh gratia,” ’ but it was by no means confined to sacred pictures as Panofsky goes on to illustrate.…
