Role and Rule Conference
Role and Rule: history and power on stage
Organised by Globe Education and the Università di Padova,
with the support of the Fondazione Cariparo
This conference discussed the various modes of representation of monarchy in Tudor and Stuart England: more specifically, it focuses on how Elizabethan and Jacobean dramatists staged England’s historical past and its political present by examining, through representations of past English monarchs, the role of Majesty and the relationship between subjects and power. The conference will highlight the celebration and praise lavished upon early modern monarchs in masques, triumphal processions, allegorical representations, and other theatrical forms such as public speeches.
Keynote speakers: Stephen Orgel, Clare McManus and Richard Wilson.
