Sommario/riassunto |
|
"The study of saints in medieval biblical drama has often been neglected in favour of the study of sinners - the villains and the rogues. In Saints and the Audience in Middle English Biblical Drama, Chester N. Scoville takes a different tack, examining the language and rhetoric of saintly characters in Middle English biblical plays. Scoville |
