‘We are pleased to make available the long-awaited records for
\nBerkshire and equally delighted that for the first time users will be
\nable to search across two collections for locations, people and a wide
\nrange of topics, such as summer games or the King’s Men. We anticipate
\nan ever-growing list of results as more collections are published
\nonline.<\/p>\n

The REED: Berkshire<\/em> records illustrate a rich popular entertainment
\ntradition. The most prominent details of mimetic activity come from
\nthe parish of St Laurence, Reading, which has preserved records
\nrunning from 1498 to 1573, among the fullest and richest in England.
\nVirtually every kind of mimetic activity is featured–an Easter play
\nwith evidence from 1498 to 1537, an early sixteenth-century Creation
\nplay, a Robin Hood game, morris dancing, church ales, maypoles, and
\nHock gatherings. Reading was a stopping place for all kinds of late
\nmedieval travelling entertainers as well as for some of the most
\nprominent professional companies, including Queen Elizabeth’s, the
\nearl of Leicester’s, and King James’ players, along with those of
\nother royal family members in the early seventeenth century. Noble
\nhouseholds are also well represented in the collection, which includes
\nan edition of “The Entertainment of Queen Elizabeth” by Lady Elizabeth
\nRussell at Bisham in 1592.’<\/p>\n
