Description

Explore the history of medieval drama with this comprehensive study from Routledge. Based on extensive records and iconography, this book provides a detailed survey of festival playing across the British Isles. It covers a wide geographic range, from Scotland to Cornwall and from Kilkenny to Great Yarmouth, offering a view of the era more thorough than previous works. Readers will find in-depth readings of specific individual plays, such as the York Creed Play, Pentecost plays, and Corpus Christi plays. The text also examines the little studied Bodley plays and provides a summary of known production details. Clifford Davidson expands the study by extending the usual chronological range to include works typically categorized differently, making this an essential resource for students and historians of performing arts and theatre.
