About this ebook
Garlick finds in state funerals a form of theatrical performance that reinforces the established rule, can appeal to vast audiences, and has advantages over some other forms of theater because of the emotional potency of its circumstances. After setting out a general context of appropriate theory, he presents a number of examples, among them the Medici esequie, the Duke of Wellington, Abraham Lincoln, John F. Kennedy, and Princess Diana. Annotation copyrighted by Book News Inc., Portland, OR
