Description

Explore the complexities of language in the late Middle Ages with Lynn Forest-Hill's study, Transgressive Language in Medieval English Drama. Originally published in 2000, this Routledge Revival examines how insults, abuse, oaths, and bawdy language functioned within medieval mystery and morality plays. Instead of seeing outrageous language as mere profanity, this study reveals how dramatists used it with sophistication to define a character's moral status and create vivid characterizations. The text explores how these linguistic choices reflected social conditions and allowed playwrights to comment on sensitive cultural, political, and religious topics of the 16th century. This work is an essential resource for scholars and students interested in how language was used to condemn social evils and navigate the social landscape of the era. By analyzing the use of scatological and transgressive speech, Forest-Hill provides a deep look into the social and religious tensions of the period through the lens of dramatic performance.
