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. 588 Description based on print resource; title from PDF title page (viewed May 16, 2017). 590 JSTOR|bBooks at JSTOR Open Access 648 7 1500-1700|2fast 650 0 Parades|zEngland|zLondon|xHistory|y16th century. 650 0 Parades|zEngland|zLondon|xHistory|y17th century. 650 0 Pageants|zEngland|zLondon|xHistory|y16th century. 650 0 Pageants|zEngland|zLondon|xHistory|y17th century. 650 0 English literature|yEarly modern, 1500-1700|xHistory and criticism. 650 0 Festivals in literature. 650 7 English literature|xEarly modern.|2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01710960 650 7 Festivals in literature.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00923351 650 7 Manners and customs.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01007815 650 7 Pageants.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01050332 650 7 Parades.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01052822 650 7 LITERARY CRITICISM / European / English, Irish, Scottish, Welsh.|2bisacsh 651 0 London (England)|xSocial life and customs|y16h century. 651 0 London (England)|xSocial life and customs|y17th century. 651 7 England|zLondon.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01204271 655 7 Criticism, interpretation, etc.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 History.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 |iPrint version:|aHill, Tracey.|tPageantry and power. |dManchester ; New York : Manchester University Press, 2010|z9780719080104|w(DLC) 2011281646|w(OCoLC)689006467 914 ocn987382571 994 92|bSTJ
