Across a range of literary works, “cavalcade” has been employed to evoke vivid images of processions marked by movement, pomp, and often a ceremonial or dramatic flair. In adventure and historical narratives—such as in Dumas’ and Maquet’s works [1], [2], [3], [4] and Scott’s romantic episodes in Ivanhoe [5], [6]—the term portrays a rapid, purposeful passage, suggesting both the physical movement of riders and the unfolding of significant events. At times, as seen in Livy [7] and Suetonius [8], “cavalcade” carries martial overtones that underscore military pageantry and ritual, while in other contexts, notably in Victor Hugo’s poetry [9], [10], [11] and Frazer’s anthropological study [12], it imbues the scene with a sense of ironic celebration or communal spectacle. Even in more relaxed or everyday portrayals, such as Bret Harte’s depictions [13], [14], [15] and Dostoyevsky’s collective outings [16], the word retains an element of grandeur, making it a versatile literary device to embellish both high drama and everyday pageantry.
