Description

Explore the evolution of early modern drama with The Chester Cycle in Context, 1555-1575. Published by Routledge, this academic work examines how recent archival research has changed our understanding of Chester's civic biblical play cycle during the reign of Elizabeth I. Rather than attributing the decline of religious drama to nationwide suppression, this text investigates the complex network of local pressures that influenced these performances. It looks at how individual civic and ecclesiastical authorities shaped the continuation and eventual abandonment of these plays. This is an essential resource for scholars interested in the connection between religion, drama, and historical change in the 16th century.
