Staging Favorites: Theatrical Representations of Political Favoritism in the Early Modern Courts of Spain, France, and England: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Staging Favorites: Theatrical Representations of Political Favoritism in the Early Modern Courts of Spain, France, and England" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Staging Favorites explores theatrical representations of royal favorites in Spanish, French, and English dramatic production during the late sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.

During this time, the courts of Spain, France, and England were dominated by all-powerful ministers who enjoyed royal favor. The politics of royal favoritism gave rise to a significant group of plays which constitutes the subject of this book. While scholars have studied this group partially and separately in national context, Staging Favorites approaches these dramas about favorites from a wider European point of view, and performs comparative analyses of a number of plays including La paciencia en la fortuna; Le Favori, ou la Coquette; and Sejanus His Fall and adds new detail and differentiation to the early modern perception and representation of the royal favorite.

This book will appeal to scholars and students interested in early modern literature, history of theater, and cultural history.

Routledge Studies in Renaissance and Early Modern Worlds of Knowledge
Series Editors: Harald E. Braun (University of Liverpool) and Emily Michelson (University of St Andrews)
This series explores Renaissance and Early Modern Worlds of Knowledge (c.1400-c.1700) in Europe, the Americas, Asia and Africa. The volumes published in this series study the individuals, communities and networks involved in making and communicating knowledge during the first age of globalization. Authors investigate the perceptions, practices and modes of behaviour which shaped Renaissance and Early Modern intellectual endeavour and examine the ways in which they reverberated in the political, cultural, social and economic sphere.
The series is interdisciplinary, comparative and global in its outlook. We welcome submissions from new as well as existing fields of Renaissance Studies, including the history of literature (including neo-Latin, European and non-European languages), science and medicine, religion, architecture, environmental and economic history, the history of the book, art history, intellectual history and the history of music. We are particularly interested in proposals that straddle disciplines and are innovative in terms of approach and methodology.
The series includes monographs, shorter works and edited collections of essays. The Society for Renaissance Studies (http://www.rensoc.org.uk) provides an expert editorial board, mentoring, extensive editing and support for contributors to the series, ensuring high standards of peer-reviewed scholarship. We welcome proposals from early career researchers as well as more established colleagues.

In 1969 the sociologist Norbert Elias published a seminal work discussing what he called the court society. He first questioned the conventional perspectives of an industrial society that had overlooked the social and historical significance of the etiquette and the symbolism surrounding the absolute monarch and, by extension, the functioning of the royal court. Elias then made clear that during the early modern age, the king was the main source of power, and the court, the place where the royal household with its countless dependents was located, was the primary destination for people seeking favors, influence, and status. The ultimate goal of these people living at court was therefore being as close as possible to the king and enjoying the honor and favors that were associated with that position.

Throughout this period, numerous playwrights composed dramas featuring favorite ministers and commenting on political favoritism. Just as there are multiple names for the figure of the royal favorite among the most frequently used are valido and privado in Spanish, favori in French, and favorite and private in English, scholars also employ various terms to describe the plays dealing with the phenomenon of royal favoritism, which in Spanish is usually known as valimiento or privanza and in French as ministriat. Those plays are generally known in Spanish as dramas or comedias de privanza, and in French, the expression drames des favoris has been used sporadically for the same purpose., will be used globally to refer to any play exploring the topic of royal favoritism.
