Description

Explore the volatile shifts of authority in Renaissance England with this scholarly study from Oxford University Press. This book examines five specific moments of power transfer during the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, spanning from the reign of Henry VIII to the English Revolution. Focusing on the political agency of drama, the text investigates how masques and civic pageants functioned as tools for incoming authorities to declare power. It also examines how these art forms allowed subjects to express their subordination to new regimes. Through vivid case studies, including dramatic works that have never been identified before, this volume provides a deep look at how performance helped smooth political transitions during times of state instability.
