Abstract

The pageantry marking James VI & I’s royal entry into London in 1604 featured the participation of Italian and Dutch immigrants who contributed two of the entry’s triumphal arches. This article examines the role of these immigrant communities within the production, and textual reproduction, of James’s royal entry. The pageant records present contrasting approaches to the multiculturalism of early modern London. The first, represented by Thomas Dekker’s official pageant text The Magnificent Entertainment, divides the city into ‘the English’ and ‘the strangers’, whose presence is celebrated for the symbolic possibilities of creating unity out of multiplicity. In the second approach, recoverable within the Italian and Dutch arches, immigrant populations maintain their distinct identities as unified communities possessing the historical and cultural right to welcome James to their city.

“和陌生人一样受英国人欢迎”:在华丽的娱乐中表演多元文化的伦敦
1604年,詹姆斯六世和一世皇室进入伦敦,意大利和荷兰移民参与了这场盛大的庆典,他们为进入伦敦的两座凯旋门做出了贡献。这篇文章考察了这些移民社区在詹姆斯王室作品的制作和文本复制中的作用。选美比赛记录展现了现代早期伦敦多元文化的对比方式。第一个以托马斯·德克尔的官方选美文本《壮丽的娱乐》为代表,将这座城市分为“英国人”和“陌生人”,他们的存在因在多样性中创造团结的象征性可能性而闻名。在第二种方法中,可以在意大利和荷兰拱门内恢复,移民人口保持着他们作为统一社区的独特身份,拥有欢迎詹姆斯来到他们城市的历史和文化权利。
