| description |
The coronation was, and perhaps still is, one of the most important
ceremonies of a monarch’s reign. This book examines the five
coronations that took place in England between 1509 and 1559: those
of Henry VIII, Anne Boleyn, Edward VI, Mary I and Elizabeth I. It
considers how the sacred rite and its related ceremonies and pageants
responded to monarchical and religious change and charts how they
were interpreted by contemporary observers. Hunt challenges the
popular position that has conflated royal ceremony with political
propaganda and argues for a deeper understanding of the symbolic
complexity of ceremony. At the heart of the study is an investigation
into the vexed issues of legitimacy and representation which leads
Hunt to identify the emergence of an important and fruitful
exchange between ceremony and drama. This exchange will have
significant implications for our understanding both of the period’s
theatre and of the cultural effects of the Reformation. The book will
be of great interest to scholars and students of late medieval and early
modern history and literature. |
