Abstract

The purpose of this thesis is to trace the origin and development of the masque in England, where it attained nation-wide prominence during the reign of James I. Elizabeth, because of her scrupulous frugality regarding laving entertainments, did not favor its production as did her father, Henry VIII, during whose accession the kernel of the masque made its way into court revelry.
