Description

Explore a new perspective on early modern drama with The Chester Cycle in Context, 1555-1575. Published by Routledge, this scholarly work examines how recent archival research has changed our understanding of civic biblical play cycles during the reign of Elizabeth I. Rather than following the old theory of nationwide suppression, this book looks at how local pressures and specific civic and ecclesiastical authorities influenced the decline of religious drama. It provides a detailed look at the complex network of local factors that shaped performance history during this period. This text is an essential resource for students and historians interested in the relationship between religion and drama. It offers a deep dive into how social and political changes impacted local traditions, providing a more nuanced view of how these performances were maintained or abandoned.
