Italian Renaissance Festivals and Their European Influence
by J. R. Mulryne, Margaret Shewring
Category: History

Essays from a specialist seminar held at University of Warwick, April 1990, under the auspices of the Graduate school of Renaissance Studies. The essays examine festival occasions taking place between 1560 and 1660, and draw attention to some of the more vigorous developments of the form of political theatre, not only in Italy but also Denmark, France, England, and the German-speaking states.
