Abstract
The royal entry of King James I into London in 1604 serves as an opportunity to reconsider the relationship between public, urban performance and the primary sources that ostensibly document it. The author revisits his own past study of this occasion, revising and expanding previous conclusions about early modern English performance in light of new research and theory. The article deploys new thinking about performance historiography, arguing that such perspectives unsettle the easy placement of an event in historical chronology, disrupt archival logic, and insist on a degree of historiographical ambiguity. The legacy of new historicism is considered in tandem with current theories of performance history, and a hybridization of new historicism and performance theory is considered in relation to historiographic practice.
1604年，英国国王詹姆斯一世（King James I）正式进入伦敦，这为我们提供了一个重新思考公共、城市表演与表面上记录它的主要来源之间关系的机会。作者回顾了自己过去对这一场合的研究，并根据新的研究和理论对先前关于早期现代英语表演的结论进行了修订和扩展。文章对表演史学进行了新的思考，认为这种观点扰乱了事件在历史年表中的容易位置，扰乱了档案逻辑，并坚持一定程度的历史模糊性。新历史主义的遗产与当前的表演史理论相结合，新历史主义和表演理论的混合与历史实践相结合。
