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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile previous scholars have studied Elizabeth I and her visits to the homes of influential courtiers, \u003ci\u003eFêting 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 university and cathedral 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.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University of Massachusetts Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52745008775448,"sku":"9781625346292","price":25.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/feting-the-queen-civic-entertainments-and-the-elizabethan-progress-paperback-softback-9781625346292","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
