Spectacle, Pageantry, and Early Tudor Policy

The study of court festivals, spectacle, and civic pageantry in Renaissance Europe has now developed into a major academic industry, so that the market for authoritative works on these themes extends far beyond the boundaries of conventional scholarly disciplines. Spectacle, Pageantry and Early Tudor Policy was a pioneering work, but it has not been superseded and remains the only comprehensive and analytical treatment of its subject. New material in this reissue includes a bibliographical and critical preface plus a bibliography.
