Research Questions and Problems: this work is intended to break new ground in terms of what we look at and how we consider it. It is a type of micro-study designed to address larger questions. These include whether the reformation or the enlightenment were responsible for the end of ritual (the transformative kernel) as distinct from ceremony (the performative husk) and the extent to which ritual was secularised in the 16th century (contra Burke 1987). It poses questions as to how material culture can be used as an aid to the reconstruction of a mindset. It attempts to revive the relationship between history and sociology/anthropology and asks If he historian can contribute to middle range theory rather than simply serving as an empirical handmaiden. It poses questions about the interdependent needs of the plebeian and patrician elements as revealed in the events of Guild Day, and eschews old-fashioned notions of social control. It raises issues to do with access to and the understanding of the signs and symbols such as were deployed on Guild Day, and others which were more generally displayed in the City throughout the year. It asks questions about contemporary categorisations eg, of sounds (outlined in Morgan, 2004b). Research Context: a number of conventional studies examine separately aspects of Norwich and its ceremonies from the viewpoints of institutional, religious and social history, art history and the history of the drama. This work incorporates these approaches but takes a broader view over a longer timespan. It is set within a reading of the wider economic, social and cultural history of Norwich based in part on the work of my research students. As a necessary context along the way (chapters 2 and '2a') it provides an argued interpretation of the history of Norwich in this period which is, perhaps, lacking from the recent two-volume composite history. A superficial comparison is drawn with civic ritual elsewhere Through a demonstrative case study the book tries to correct the imbalance among 'core' historians in the attention devoted to the Reformation and the Renaissance impulses in England, especially in the later 16th century. Moreover, little detailed work has been done on the renaissance in provincial England in its urban context, apart from Tittler's scattergun studies. It draws on my own earlier work on Norwich (see bibliography) and the work of four of my former research students. The book takes cognizance of the work on Court ceremonial and royal entries (eg, Adamson; Mulryne & Golding), and coronations (Bak) both in England and abroad. It attempts to break down our compartmentalisations by eg, comparing the Mayors' Court Chamber to the great house long gallery (cf. Morgan, 2003b). It argues for the importance in Norwich of 'cultural artisans' from the Low Countries (cf. Morgan, 1999b, 2003a), and places their contribution in the context of what we now know was a wider diaspora (Esser). There is a scattering of mainly French and Italian scholarship on issues such as taste and smell (eg, Corbin), themes discussed here (chs. 6-8) and English empiricist work on foodways (eg, Brears and Summers). In the process of reviewing the literature the development in anthropology of an interest in the interpretation of the senses has been an important new discovery for me. An overview of this development is provided by the new series, "Sensory Formations", published by Berg. It will inform my interpretation of the historical data. Reference is made to both the empirical and the theoretical literature in liturgy and ritual studies (eg, Turner; Grimes; Frankiel). A new section, not originally envisaged, has now been added to chapter 10. This provides a relatively brief discussion of liturgy in England in a more conventional sense as part of the wider 'performative culture' within which subsisted civic ritual. The book is likely to be attractive to those who currently are enamoure

研究问题和难题：这项工作的目的是在我们观察什么和如何看待它方面开辟新天地。2这是一种旨在解决更大问题的微观研究。这些问题包括宗教改革还是启蒙运动导致了仪式（变革的核心）的终结，而仪式又不同于仪式（表演的外壳），以及仪式在世纪世俗化的程度（对比伯克，1987）。它提出了如何利用物质文化来帮助重建心态的问题。它试图恢复历史与社会学/人类学之间的关系，并询问历史学家是否可以为中等范围理论做出贡献，而不仅仅是作为一个经验主义的侍女。它提出了关于平民和贵族元素的相互依赖的需求的问题，正如行会日事件所揭示的那样，并避开了老式的社会控制观念。它提出了一些问题，涉及如何获得和理解在行会日部署的标志和符号，以及全年在城市中更普遍展示的其他标志和符号。它提出了关于当代分类的问题，例如，声音（在摩根，2004 b中概述）。研究背景：许多传统的研究从制度史、宗教史、社会史、艺术史和戏剧史的角度分别考察了诺里奇及其仪式的各个方面。这项工作结合了这些方法，但需要在更长的时间跨度更广泛的视野。它是设置在一个阅读更广泛的经济，社会和文化历史的诺维奇的基础上，部分工作，我的研究学生。作为一个必要的背景沿着的方式（第2章和“2a”），它提供了一个有争议的解释诺里奇在这一时期的历史，这是，也许，缺乏从最近的两卷复合历史。通过一个示范性的案例研究，这本书试图纠正“核心”历史学家在关注英国，特别是世纪后期的宗教改革和文艺复兴冲动方面的不平衡。此外，除了蒂特勒的霰弹枪研究之外，关于英格兰外省城市背景下的复兴几乎没有做过详细的工作。它借鉴了我自己早期关于诺维奇的工作（见参考文献）和我以前的四个研究学生的工作。这本书认识到工作的法院礼仪和皇家条目（如，亚当森;穆雷恩和戈尔丁），和加冕礼（巴克）都在英国和国外。它试图打破我们的划分，例如，比较市长的法院会议厅，以伟大的房子长画廊（参见。Morgan，2003 b）。它认为，在诺里奇的重要性，“文化工匠”从低地国家（参见。Morgan，1999 b，2003 a），并将他们的贡献放在我们现在所知的更广泛的散居的背景下（Esser）。有一个分散的主要是法国和意大利的学术问题，如味道和气味（如科尔宾），主题讨论这里（chs。6-8)和英国的食物学著作（如《Brears》和《Summers》）。在回顾文献的过程中，人类学对感官解释的兴趣的发展对我来说是一个重要的新发现。贝格出版的新系列“感官形成”提供了对这一发展的概述。它将为我对历史数据的解释提供信息。 参考是在礼仪和仪式研究的经验和理论文献（如特纳;格兰姆斯;弗兰克尔）。第10章中增加了一个原先没有设想的新的章节。这提供了一个相对简短的讨论礼仪在英格兰在一个更传统的意义上作为更广泛的“表演文化”的一部分，其中存在的公民仪式。 这本书很可能会吸引那些目前正在热恋中的人。
