Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Die vorliegende interdisziplinäre Studie untersucht die poetische wie auch die politische Inszenierung der Pfälzischen Hochzeit des Jahres 1613 in London in den occasio-typischen Kommunikationsmedien frühneuzeitlicher Hof- und Populärkultur (Epithalamium, Festbeschreibung, Pamphlet, Predigt etc.) am Hof des schottisch-englischen König Jakob VI. und I. Im Zentrum dieser literatur- und kulturwissenschaftlichen Arbeit steht die Repräsentation des Kurfürsten Friedrich V. von der Pfalz (1596–1632) und seiner Braut Elisabeth Stuart (1596–1662) als Positivikonen eines scheinbar in Aussicht stehenden pan-protestantischen Europa. Im zeitgenössischen Kontext herrschaftslegitimierender Genealogievorstellungen und religiös motivierter politischer Illusionen wird der Ehebund zur Manifestation göttlichen Willens und einer verheißungsvollen Zukunft stilisiert.
