- Summary:
- "The nineteen essays in this volume are concerned with some of the many ways in which performance, ceremony and display communicated meaning, visibly and audibly, in late medieval English life. Some of the essays deal with dramatic representation, others address the meanings communicated through specific rituals and ceremonies, or visual display, or social practices. Human bodies and voices are prominent concerns in essays that consider medieval plays and courtly poems, jousting, royal progresses, the activities of courts and of town criers, the regulation and performance of the liturgy, and varieties of music and song"-- Provided by publisher.
