I’m finally able to get back to the mapping project. Ninety records entered (1583-1588). Some further observations:
1583:
- 6 Civic venue type
- 1 Ecclesiastical
- 2 Court
- 2 Inn
- 2 Private residence
- 1 University (dismissal)
- 11 Unknown venue
- TOTAL # PERFORMANCES = 25 (needs further work)
1584:
- 6 Civic venues
- 1 Court venue
- 2 Ecclesiastical venues
- 1 private
- 6 Unknown
- TOTAL # PERFORMANCES = 17
1585:
- 4 Civic
- 1 Ecclesiastical
- TOTAL # PERFORMANCES = 5
1586:
- 11 Civic
- 1 Ecclesiastical
- 1 Private
- TOTAL # PERFORMANCES = 13
1587:
- 12 Civic
- 3 Ecclesiastical
- 1 Private
- 1 University
- TOTAL # PERFORMANCES = 17
1588:
- 12 Civic
- 2 Private
- TOTAL # PERFORMANCES = 14
So a quick snapshot of this preliminary sample shows that of records that identify venue type, from 1583-1588 Civic performances become the predominant staple of Queen’s Men touring, by 1588 accounting for 12 of 14 performance records.
Next steps:
- Dig into 1583 to find out about the unknown locations
- Consider reasons why 1585 shows such a profound drop
- Find more records!
