This essay examines the performativity of the 1575 Kenilworth entertainments, with a special emphasis on the extent to which these, the most outstanding Elizabethan progress entertainments, relied on the material structure, social memories, and physical geography of Kenilworth. In particular, I discuss two Arthurian pageants, the most elaborate spectacles of the Kenilworth entertainments, analyzing the ways in which space played a pivotal role in articulating a nationalistic agenda. The analysis includes such topics as: the cultural significance and social memories of Kenilworth; how the Earl of Leicester utilized the history, architecture, and landscape of Kenilworth in the Arthurian pageants he staged; the 1279 Round Table at Kenilworth hosted by Roger Mortimer, 1st Baron of Wigmore, as a subtext of Leicester’s 1575 Arthurian entertainments; how Kenilworth made an important argument that could serve both the Queen and Leicester in what seems to be a fairly reciprocal way. In so doing, I attempt to cast new light on the ways in which the Queen and Leicester’s political companionship is mediated by spatial practices.
Abstract
This essay examines the performativity of the 1575 Kenilworth entertainments, with a special emphasis on the extent to which these, the most outstanding Elizabethan progress entertainments, relied on the material structure, social memories, and physical geography of Kenilworth. In particular, I discuss two Arthurian pageants, the most elaborate spectacles of the Kenilworth entertainments, analyzing the ways in which space played a pivotal role in articulating a nationalistic agenda. The analysis includes such topics as: the cultural significance and social memories of Kenilworth; how the Earl of Leicester utilized the history, architecture, and landscape of Kenilworth in the Arthurian pageants he staged; the 1279 Round Table at Kenilworth hosted by Roger Mortimer, 1st Baron of Wigmore, as a subtext of Leicester’s 1575 Arthurian entertainments; how Kenilworth made an important argument that could serve both the Queen and Leicester in what seems to be a fairly reciprocal way. In so doing, I attempt to cast new light on the ways in which the Queen and Leicester’s political companionship is mediated by spatial practices.
