Marriage, Performance, and Politics at the Jacobean Court

By Kevin Curran

Book Overview

Marriage, Performance, and Politics at the Jacobean Court constitutes the first full-length study of Jacobean nuptial performance. Scripted for high-profile weddings by such writers as Jonson, Campion, Chapman, and Beaumont, these entertainments were mounted for some of the most significant political events of King James's English reign and played a key role in the development of a specifically Jacobean form of national identity.
