Book Description
Excerpt from Masques and Entertainments The Italian masque grew out of the Carnival, and was at first especially associated with the Feast of the Epiphany, old Christ mas Day, our Twelfth Day. The English custom of drawing Twelfth Night characters, that came down into this century, was in some sense a survival from the customs out of which our early masques arose. Before its general limitation to a few days before Ash Wednesday, Carnival began on the day after the Feast of Epiphany, and lasted until midnight on Shrove Tuesday, Lent beginning with Ash Wednesday. This whole time was, among the rich, 9. Time of feasts. The rich began at Epiphany their season of festivity; while those who had to earn their livings were content with their own limitation of the costly season to the last week before Lent.

Book Description
Excerpt from Heralds and Heraldry in Ben Jonson's Plays, Masques, and Entertainments Columbia University library, of the library of the University of Pennsylvania, of the New York City and Boston public libraries, of the library of the Peabody Institute, of the Maine State Library, and of the library of New York University, for the many courtesies they have granted me while pursuing these researches. My thanks are especially due to Mr. Samuel Hill, Assistant Librarian of the Peabody Institute, who, finding that I had come to Baltimore one hot August day, ignorant of the fact that the library was closed for the month, admitted me to the building and, at no little inconvenience to himself, I fear, placed its collections at my disposal. Most of all am I indebted to the Harvard University Library, which has sent me the sixteenth and seventeenth century volumes from which the most valuable of my illustrations are reproduced. I desire to thank also those whose care and interest has contributed to the mechanical preparation of the book: Mr. H. C. Thayer, who, from the faded and time stained wood-cuts of 1576, has produced the successful line-cuts of these pages; and Messrs. Burleigh and Flynt.

Book Description
The masque had a brief but splendid life as the dominant mode of entertainment at the early Stuart court, and it has increasingly come to be recognized as a genre offering a fascinating insight into the culture and politics of the early seventeenth century.This selection of 18 masque for Charles I, performed just before the outbreak of civil war. It also includes examples of entertainments performed on royal progresses, as well as one domestic masque.Court masques were extravagant multi-media happenings, imbued with often arcane allegorical programmes by writers and designers, and frequently commenting on tipical political issues. In this, the most substantial available selection, readers are offered the annotation necessary for understandingthe complexities of the individual texts.Under the General Editorship of Michael Cordner, of the University of York, the texts of the plays have been newly edited and are presented with modernized spelling and punctuation. In addition to the detailed notes there is a scholarly introduction, making this edition invaluable to students ofRenaissance drama and court culture.
