Siobhan Keenan is Professor of Shakespeare and Renaissance
Literature at De Montfort University, Leicester, where she is also
Associate Dean Research and Innovation for the Faculty of Arts,
Design and Humanities. Her research focuses on early modern theatre
history, regional performance culture, and royal progress
entertainments. She is the author of several books, including
Travelling Players in Shakespeare's England (2002) and Acting
Companies and
Their Plays in Shakespeare's London (2014), as well as the editor
of two politically topical seventeenth-century manuscript plays,
The Emperor's Favourite (2011) and The Twice Chang'd Friar (2017).
Siobhan Keenan's interdisciplinary monograph makes a substantial
contribution to a surprisingly under-researched area. [...] this is
an important book that establishes a foundation for other
researchers to start filling in the gaps (Charles's more numerous
'minor' progresses or Henrietta Maria's separate tours), as Keenan
herself recommends.
*Sarah Poynting, English Historical Review*
The Progresses, Processions, and Royal Entries of King Charles I
adds substance and subtlety to our understanding of political
culture in the early Stuart period. It is essential reading for
anyone wanting to understand the notoriously fraught, ultimately
fatal conversation between Charles and his people.
*Andrew McRae, The Seventeenth Century*
