About the work

About the work. The book Civic Ritual in Renaissance Venice (9780691102009) examines the formative role of public ceremonies, festivals, and everyday ritual in shaping political authority, social hierarchy, and communal identity during Venice’s shift from medieval polity to maritime republic. Edward Muir’s study reveals how ritual acts—processions, patronage events, and commemorations—functioned as powerful instruments of governance and representation within a complex urban fabric.

Summary

Summary. Muir situates Venice’s rituals at the center of political life, showing how ceremonies enacted legitimacy, disciplined citizens, and negotiated competing factions within a densely layered urban society. Through meticulous archival research and vivid periodization, the book traces how ritual practices reflected and refracted the republic’s ever-changing ambitions, from republic-to-emperor aspirations to the stabilization of a mercantile oligarchy. It offers a richly textured account of spaces, spectators, and symbolic actions that animated Venice’s public sphere.
