托马斯·米德尔顿在市政庆典上的职业生涯始于17世纪之初，1620年他被任命为伦敦城的编年史家，这一职业得到了巩固。虽然城市编年史的任命是米德尔顿在公民圈中受到尊重的象征，但对于整个国家以及为米德尔顿提供工作和荣誉的城市来说，这是一个麻烦的时期。他的新角色是在伦敦金融城的一系列厄运中出现的，他最初的委托书是在政治和经济危机期间撰写的。本文探讨了米德尔顿在17世纪20年代初谈判一些复杂的公民任命和过渡的方式，重点是他的综合作品《为这个贵族城市的服务而创作的荣誉娱乐》和他在1621年和1622年的市长表演。
Thomas Middleton’s career in civic pageantry commenced at the very start of the seventeenth century, and it was consolidated in 1620 when he was appointed Chronologer of the City of London. Although the City Chronologer appointment was a token of the esteem in which Middleton was held in civic circles, these were troubled times for the nation at large as well as for the City that offered Middleton both work and kudos. His new role came during a run of bad luck for the City and his initial commissions were written during a period of political and economic crisis. This article explores the ways in which Middleton negotiated some complex civic appointments and transitions in the early 1620s, focusing on his composite work Honorable Entertainments compos’de for the Seruice of this Noble Cittie and his mayoral Shows for 1621 and 1622.
