{"product_id":"fting-the-queen-john-m-adrian-9781625346292","title":"F黎ing the Queen: Civic Entertainments and the Elizabethan Progress","description":"In a 1572 visit to Warwick, Queen Elizabeth looked out the window of her lodgings and saw local people dancing in the courtyard, a seemingly spontaneous performance meant to entertain her. During her travels, she was treated to fireworks, theatrical performances, and lavish banquets. Reconstructing the formal and informal events that took place throughout Elizabeth's progress visits, events rich in pageantry and ceremony, John M. Adrian demonstrates how communities communicated their character, as well as their financial and political needs, to noble guests. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e While previous scholars have studied Elizabeth I and her visits to the homes of influential courtiers, \u003ci\u003eF黎ing the Queen\u003c\/i\u003e places a new emphasis on the civic communities that hosted the monarch and their efforts to secure much needed support. Case studies of the cities of Oxford, Canterbury, Sandwich, Bristol, Worcester, and Norwich focus on the concepts of hospitality and space--including the intimate details of the built environment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John M.
