Description

This comprehensive study surveys medieval festival playing across Britain, drawing on historical records and iconography to present an inclusive view of drama throughout the British Isles from Scotland to Cornwall and Kilkenny to Great Yarmouth. The book offers detailed readings of individual plays including the York Creed Play, Pentecost and Corpus Christi plays, and the little-studied Bodley plays, alongside summaries of their production methods and contexts. Clifford Davidson extends the chronological range beyond typical medieval drama scholarship, providing scholars, theatre historians, and students with the most thorough examination of British medieval festival performance to date. This Routledge publication combines rigorous archival research with visual evidence to illuminate how communities across medieval Britain engaged with dramatic performance during major religious festivals and civic celebrations.
