About Triumphal Entries and Festivals in Early Modern Scotland: Performing Spaces (European Festival Studies: 1450-1700)

This book offers unprecedented insights into the richness of Scottish culture in the early modern period, studying triumphal entries--that is, processional civic welcomes offered to royal guests--staged in Edinburgh in the period between 1500 and the Wars of the Three Kingdoms. Based on a comprehensive and imaginative analysis of the written and archival sources available for these events, it also brings renewed attention to the country's artistic, architectural, and literary traditions. The analysis of comparable events staged in England and continental Europe--in France, the Italian peninsula, and the Low Countries--helps frame Scotland's distinctiveness within a network of international connections. The book explores how the urban space of early modern Edinburgh was employed with changing fortunes to address potentially explosive power dynamics, expressed by civic and royal, secular and religious (pre and post Reformation), Scottish and post-1603 pan-British worldviews. Scottish triumphal culture is presented as profoundly embedded in the urban context within which it is set, rich in politicised rituals of negotiation and mutual acknowledgement, and visually vibrant through temporary structures, decorations, pageants, and costumed performers. This book offers a well-rounded answer to the still relevant question of Scottish identity, and how identity and power--individual, communal, national, royal--can be performed through active engagement with civic space.
