Aspects under scrutiny include dramatic traditions, confessional and religious rites, dogmas and debates, conceptualisations of performance, and audience response. The contributors stress the co-presence of biblical and contemporary concerns in the periods under discussion, conceiving of biblical drama as a central participant in the dynamic struggle to both interpret and translate the Bible. 330 8 $a"This volume offers new perspectives on the crucial role played by the Bible in medieval culture and in the wake of the Reformation across Europe. The thirteen chapters open up new horizons for the study of biblical drama by putting special emphasis on periodisation, the intersections of biblical narrative and performance, and the strategies employed by playwrights to rework and adapt the biblical source material.The book is based on a framework of multitemporality, transnationality, and the modalities of performance and form in relation to the uses of the Bible in late-medieval and early modern drama. These aspects are not to be treated as separate or distinct phenomena, but are intertwined: particular modalities of performance evolve, adapt, and are recreated as they intersect with different historical times and circumstances. These intersections pertain to aspects such as dramatic traditions, confessional and religious rites, dogmas and debates, conceptualisations of performance and form, and audience response - whenever the Bible is evoked for performative purposes.Stressing the presence of both biblical and contemporary concerns in the periods under discussion, Enacting the Bible conceives of biblical drama as a central participant in the dynamic struggle to both interpret and translate the Bible. The double focus on formal elements and the multilayeredness of time allows us to cast the idea of the Bible as a generator of meaning into sharper relief." -- Back cover. 410 0$aManchester medieval literature and culture. 606 $aBible plays$xHistory and criticism 606 $aChristian drama, English (Middle)$xHistory and criticism 606 $aChristianity and literature$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aChristianity and literature$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aEnglish drama$yTo 1500$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEnglish drama$yEarly modern and Elizabethan, 1500-1600$xHistory and criticism 606 $aMedieval Literature$2mup 606 $aLiterary Studies: Classical, Early & Medieval$2bicssc 606 $aDRAMA / Medieval$2bisach 606 $aLiterary studies: ancient, classical & medieval$2thema 610 $aprotestant drama 610 $aReformation 610 $aNicholas Grimald 610 $aprops 615 0$aBible plays$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aChristian drama, English (Middle)$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aChristianity and literature$xHistory 615 0$aChristianity and literature$xHistory 615 0$aEnglish drama$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEnglish drama$xHistory and criticism. 615 7$aMedieval Literature 615 7$aLiterary Studies: Classical, Early & Medieval 615 7$aDRAMA / Medieval 615 7$aLiterary studies: ancient, classical & medieval 676 $a822.05160903 700 $aDutton$b Elisabeth$4auth$0871451 702 $aContzen$b Eva von 702 $aGoodblatt$b Chanita 801 2$bUkMaJRU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910772083003321 996 $aEnacting the Bible in medieval and early modern drama$93663007 997 $aUNINA
