These festivals are introduced
by groups of scholars, each with specialist knowledge of the
political, social and cultural significance of the festival and of
the iconography, spectacle, music, dance, voice and gesture in
which they were expressed.To demonstrate the geographic
spread and political significance of festivals, and to illustrate
the range of aesthetic languages they deploy, the festivals are
grouped in the following sections: Henri III; Genoa;
Poland-Lithuania; The Netherlands; The Protestant Union; La
Rochelle; Scandinavia; and The New World. These texts provide many
valuable insights into the political systems and historical
circumstances that formed them.
