David Bergeron

David Bergeron is Professor Emeritus of The University of Kansas. His landmark study English Civic Pageantry (1971, revised in 2003) established his position as an authority on civic pageants, including mayoral shows. His work has regularly returned to this topic, but his scholarly focus has covered Shakespeare and his fellow playwrights, the Stuart royal family, and systems of patronage, especially of early modern drama, as well.
