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 contends that the plays focus attention on the interaction between the divine realm and the human realm, that the saintly characters are key to seeing this interaction, and that the overall function of the plays is to instill in the audience a shared point of view defined both by doctrine and by experience."--Jacket.Mysteries and miracle-plays, EnglishHistory and criticismChristian drama, English (Middle)History and criticismTheater audiencesEnglandHistoryTo 1500English dramaTo 1500History and criticismBible plays, EnglishHistory and criticismChristian saints in literatureMittelenglischswdEnglandfastHistory.Criticism, interpretation, etc.Electronic books.
