Reviews
Publisher Synopsis
'The book is handsomely researched, written, documented, and organized... Curran negotiates the uneven terrain comprising literary analysis, social history, and theater-performance studies very well, sensibly focusing on the masques themselves in his attempt to make them living texts for us.' Seventeenth-Century News 'In Marriage, Performance, and Politics at the Jacobean Court, Kevin Curran gives an account of his rhetorical topic that will be valued by anyone interested in the Stuart masque and in the changing language of politics in James's reign.' Sixteenth Century Journal 'This book takes us through a lively, ideologically complex period of Jacobean history, offering fine-grained close readings of entertainment texts and thoughtful considerations of how national and international political factionalism, influential courtiers and the Elizabethan iconographical and political inheritance all contributed to shaping the Jacobean marriage masque.' Review of English Studies '... an excellent study of a major dramatic genre.' Notes and Queries Read more...
