Description

Explore the use of bad 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 scatological language functioned within medieval mystery and morality plays. Forest-Hill demonstrates how dramatists used outrageous language with sophistication to define character morality and create deep characterizations. The text analyzes how these linguistic choices reflected social conditions and served as tools to condemn social evils. By studying these transgressive elements, readers gain insight into how playwrights commented on sensitive cultural, political, and religious topics during the 16th century.
