Reviews

Stijn Bussels has written a wonderful book, one that succeeds in evoking before our eyes the very spectacle that it analyzes. No small merit indeed. - Sofie Kluge, University of Stockholm, in: Comparative Drama, April 2013, pp. 119-21 Spectacle, Rhetoric and Power is a valuable book, not just for its exposition of the 1549 entry but also for its implications for the study of other entries. More perhaps could have been said about `Power', but as regards `Spectacle' and `Rhetoric', particularly the connections between ceremonial events and theatrical genres or humanist thought, this book is exemplary, and deserves to be widely read. - Andrew Brown, in: Queeste 19/1 (2012), pp. 74-76
