This volume focuses on monastic performances and, in particular, on performances given in the English abbey of Barking. The Barking ceremonies, commonly referred to as the Elevatio and Visitatio sepulchri, display complex ties with both drama and liturgy. The book uses historical and archaeological evidence to propose a discussion of the nuns' participation in these ceremonies--as performers, but also as scribes, composers, and patrons--and of the Elevatio?and Visitatio's potential effects on their performers and spectators. It goes on to address related questions through the lens of a modern performance of the ceremonies, considering their relevance today. Discussion is presented within the context of a general overview of female performance in the Middle Ages. 410 0$aEarly Social Performance Series 606 $aMonastic and religious life of women$zGreat Britain$xHistory 606 $aReligious drama, English 606 $aDRAMA / Medieval$2bisacsh 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMonastic and religious life of women$xHistory. 615 0$aReligious drama, English. 615 7$aDRAMA / Medieval. 676 $a271.90042175 700 $aBlanc$b Aure?lie$01774668 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910901778303321 996 $aFemale Performance and Spectatorship in a Medieval Nunnery$94287393 997 $aUNINA
