In particular, the city's Whitsun Plays have been a vehicle for communicating the myth of the city's medieval heritage, helping to reinforce the sense of history that is part of Chester's identity." "Building upon the material in REED: Chester, David Mills has produced a detailed study of Chester's Whitsun Plays in their local, physical, social, political, cultural, and religious contexts. A continuum has survived between the Middle Ages and the present day, providing not only an understanding of the plays themselves, but a narrative of the ways in which manuscripts survive and the functions that they serve. The continued performance of these plays is significant of modern play revivals as a political and sociological phenomenon, demonstrating the power that these rituals and plays still hold."--Jacket. 410 0$aStudies in early English drama ;$v4. 606 $aMysteries and miracle-plays, English$zEngland$zChester$xHistory and criticism 606 $aChristian drama, English (Middle)$xHistory and criticism 606 $aTheater$zEngland$zChester$xHistory$yMedieval, 500-1500 606 $aEnglish drama$yTo 1500$xHistory and criticism 606 $aBible plays$xHistory and criticism 606 $aCycles (Literature) 607 $aChester (England)$xHistory 608 $aLivres numeriques. 608 $aHistory. 608 $aCriticism, interpretation, etc. 608 $ae-books. 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMysteries and miracle-plays, English$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aChristian drama, English (Middle)$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aTheater$xHistory 615 0$aEnglish drama$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aBible plays$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aCycles (Literature) 676 $a822.051609 700 $aMills$b David$f1938-$01537952 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910780564203321 996 $aRecycling the cycle$93787608 997 $aUNINA
