title = "The Politics of Personification in the Jacobean Lord Mayors{\textquoteright} Shows",
abstract = "The personification of abstract qualities, virtues, places, art forms, and acts was a ubiquitous feature of the London Lord Mayors{\textquoteright} Shows of the Jacobean period. This essay explores the political philosophies that the repeated use of these figures suggest, and argues that the textual descriptions of these events invite the reader to understand the process of signification itself as grounded in an objectivism guaranteed by political authority.
