Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Festival of Mora, Vol. 3: An Historical Romance Virtue's anch'rage, firm and stable, breaketh Not her moorings: though billows rage and foam; Though clouds lower, and angry winds arise, Riding midst the stress and jar of hostile Worlds, her little bark outlives the tempest. Sigrida revived, but it was to anguish more acute, to misery far more bitter than before; to suspense almost maddening, to grief almost subduing. In vain the vile hirelings of a viler master strove to pacify her mind, to argue her out of the belief of having seen her father, to persuade her that the accidental resemblance of a stranger had alone wrought on her feelings.

Download or read book Festival Culture in the World of the Spanish Habsburgs written by Fernando Checa Cremades and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-03 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in Early Modern Festivals. These spectacles articulated the self-image of ruling elites and played out the tensions of the diverse social strata. Responding to the growing academic interest in festivals this volume focuses on the early modern Iberian world, in particular the spectacles staged by and for the Spanish Habsburgs. The study of early modern Iberian festival culture in Europe and the wider world is surprisingly limited compared to the published works devoted to other kingdoms at the time. There is a clear need for scholarly publications to examine festivals as a vehicle for the presence of Spanish culture beyond territorial boundaries. The present books responds to this shortcoming. Festivals and ceremonials played a major role in the Spanish world; through them local identities as well as a common Spanish culture made their presence manifest within and beyond the peninsula through ephemeral displays, music and print. Local communities often conflated their symbols of identity with religious images and representations of the Spanish monarchy. The festivals (fiestas in Spanish) materialized the presence of the Spanish diaspora in other European realms. Royal funerals and proclamations served to establish kingly presence in distant and not so distant lands. The socio-political, religious and cultural nuances that were an intrinsic part of the territories of the empire were magnified and celebrated in the Spanish festivals in Europe, Iberia and overseas viceroyalties. Following a foreword and an introduction the remaining 12 chapters are divided up into four sections. The first explores Habsburg Visual culture at court and its relationship with the creation of a language of triumph and the use of tapestries in festivals. The second part examines triumphal entries in Madrid, Lisbon, Cremona, Milan, Pavia and the New World; the third deals with the relationship between religion and the empire through the examination of royal funerals, hagiography and calendric celebrations. The fourth part of the book explores cultural, artistic and musical exchange in Naples and Rome. Taken together these essays contribute further to our growing appreciation of the importance of early-modern festival culture in general, and their significance in the world of the Spanish Habsburgs in particular.
