"Lord Raglan argues his case ably and well."--Nature. "... vivid and provocative."--The Times [London] Literary Supplement.

Late medieval and renaissance cities, though powerful communities jealous of their own jurisdiction, were constantly negotiating their relationships with other secular and religious authorities. The seven essays in this collection treat various aspects of civic display and pageantry during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. The overwhelming sense one receives is that the "solemne pomps" were essentially about power - how to get it, display it, share it and retain it. Each paper demonstrates how, through ceremony and symbol, municipalities sought to fashion their own corporate self-image

Inasmuch as drama seeks to keep an audience engaged, it takes on rhetorical qualities; likewise, rhetorical endeavour may employ dramatic appeal. Centuries ago, Aristotle’s companion pieces "The Rhetoric" and "The Poetic" generated crosscurrents of critical thought about rhetoric and dramatic theory. Recently, such critic-theorists as Kenneth Burke, Ernest Bormann, Elder Olson, Paul de Man and others have stirred up these currents afresh. The contributors to this volume take new approaches to enduring issues.

Offering fuller understandings of both dramatic representations and the complexities of religious culture, this collection reveals the ways in which questions of religion and questions of performance were inextricably linked in early modern England. Its readings extend beyond the interpretation of straightforward religious allusions and suggest new avenues for theorizing the dynamic relationship between religious representations and dramatic ones. By addressing the particular ways in which commercial drama adapted the sensory aspects of religious experience to its own symbolic systems, the vol
