    Public Spectacles in Restoration England: The Theatricality of the Political and the Birth of Celebrity Culture

  • Original language description

    The jigsaw puzzle of the late Stuart period comprised a myriad of pieces, ranging from the advent of women actors to the emergence of Whig and Tory ideologies. Based on contemporary documents, literary works and written sources of a private nature, such as the Declaration of Breda, Aphra Behn&apos;s The Feigned Courtesans and The Diary of Samuel Pepys, this paper explores some public spectacles which shaped popular tastes, opinions and attitudes of late seventeenth-century English society, whose heart was London. Employed as powerful tools of mass manipulation by the King&apos;s state apparatus, magnificent royal rituals, gruesome public executions and witty dramas with political subtexts had a powerful indoctrinating effect on the minds and souls of the subjects involved. Drawing on Guy Debord and Michel Foucault, the paper offers a glimpse into the idiosyncrasies of the spectacular Restoration propaganda machine, as well as spotlighting the emerging phenomenon of celebrity cult.
