这第四卷在欧洲节日研究，1450 – 1700系列打破先例在一个联合会议（威尼斯，2013）之间的欧洲节日研究协会和欧洲科学基金会支持的帕拉提姆项目。本书借鉴了欧洲范围内的学术学者、博物馆和画廊策展人的最新研究成果，为16世纪和17世纪的节日创造了一个独特的、具有启发性的、插图精美的临时建筑，以及在意大利、法国、奥地利、苏格兰和德国等欧洲主要地区举行的节日期间投入使用的永久性建筑。这些散文在风格上极具吸引力和活力，既着眼于古典主义的来源，又唤起了政治和现实环境以及知识分子的关注——从重新塑造和重新概念化16世纪早期的罗马，通过提供美第奇时期佛罗伦萨人的福祉和政治忠诚，探索凡尔赛的表演艺术，以容纳17世纪巴黎的球员和观众，以及哈布斯堡、法国和英国皇冠的皇家和公爵活动。这本书在其主题的多样性和学术范围方面是独一无二的，在其对早期现代欧洲的知识和政治生活的描述方面也是引人入胜的。

Architectures of Festival in Early Modern Europe: Fashioning and Re-fashioning Urban and Courtly Space
This fourth volume in the European Festival Studies, 1450–1700 series breaks with precedent in stemming from a joint conference (Venice, 2013) between the Society for European Festivals Research and the PALATIUM project supported by the European Science Foundation. The volume draws on up-to-date research by a Europe-wide group of academic scholars and museum and gallery curators to provide a unique, intellectually-stimulating and beautifully-illustrated account of temporary architecture created for festivals of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, together with permanent architecture pressed into service for festival occasions across major European locations including Italian, French, Austrian, Scottish and German. Appealing and vigorous in style, the essays look towards classical sources while evoking political and practical circumstances and intellectual concerns – from re-shaping and re-conceptualizing early sixteenth-century Rome, through providing for the well-being and political allegiance of Medici-era Florentines and exploring the teasing aesthetics of performance at Versailles to accommodating players and spectators in seventeenth-century Paris and at royal and ducal events for the Habsburg, French and English crowns. The volume is unique in its field in the diversity of its topics and the range of its scholarship and fascinating in its account of the intellectual and political life of Early Modern Europe.
