<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>This book explores the revival under Edward VII of the ceremonial state visit by British monarchs, showing the impact and importance of active royal diplomacy during his reign. Using the Royal Archives, memoirs and newspapers, it reveals the contribution made by the use of ceremony and public display to popular appreciation of the monarchy.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"This absorbing book reveals much of a lesser-appreciated facet of the public life of King Edward VII ... . This book confirms the relevance of this area of scholarship to those interested in British diplomacy and royal visits, and invites further comparative research into overseas journeys undertaken by subsequent monarchs."
