I. The landscape of festival drama and play -- pt. II. Some aspects of two genres of festival drama. 330 $aBased in records and iconography, this book surveys medieval festival playing in Britain more comprehensively than any other work to date. The study presents an inclusive view of the drama in the British Isles, from Kilkenny to Great Yarmouth, from Scotland to Cornwall. It offers detailed readings of individual plays-including the York Creed Play, Pentecost and Corpus Christi plays and the little studied Bodley plays, among others - as well as a summary of what is known of their production. Clifford Davidson here extends the usual chronological range to include work typically categorized as early modern, enabling a juxtaposition of earlier plays with later plays to yield a better understanding of both. Complementing documentary evidence with iconographic detail and citation of music, he pinpoints a number of common misconceptions about medieval drama. By organizing the study around the rituals of the liturgical seasons, he clarifies the relationship between liturgical feast and dramatic celebration. 606 $aEnglish drama$yTo 1500$xHistory and criticism 606 $aMysteries and miracle-plays, English$zEngland$xHistory and criticism 606 $aChristianity and literature$zEngland$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aPolitics and literature$zGreat Britain$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aLiterature and society$zGreat Britain$xHistory$yTo 1500 615 0$aEnglish drama$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aMysteries and miracle-plays, English$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aChristianity and literature$xHistory 615 0$aPolitics and literature$xHistory 615 0$aLiterature and society$xHistory 676 $a822/.109 700 $aDavidson$b Clifford.$0947593 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910154569903321 996 $aFestivals and plays in late medieval Britain$92141044 997 $aUNINA
