The Theatre of Death: The Ritual Management of Royal Funerals in Renaissance England, 1570-1625Boydell & Brewer Ltd, 1997 - 250 Seiten English royal funeral ceremony from Mary, Queen of Scots to James I gives fascinating insight into the relationship between power and ritual at the renaissance court. This book represents the first detailed study into English royal funeral ceremonies of the period, building on earlier scholarship dealing with the French royal funeral and with the social history of death and burial in early modern England. Funeral rituals are approached as performances, and placed in their political, religious and broader cultural contexts, showing them to be a microcosm of cultural change. The impact of the Reformation, with its strongiconophobic strain, on a ritual process which was centred on the display of a life-sized image of the dead monarch, is explored. Later, the counter influence of the Arminianism and Continental art is considered in relation to theapotheosis of the theatre of death under the early Stuarts, with particular reference to the funeral of James I. Dr JENNIFER WOODWARD gained her Ph.D. from the University of Warwick.__________________ |
