This book provides an authoritative introduction and an up-to-date, illustrated guide to the mystery cycles, morality drama and saints' plays which flourished from the late fourteenth to the mid-sixteenth centuries. The book emphasises regional diversity in the period and engages with the literary, and particularly the theatrical values of the plays. After a general introduction there are chapters devoted to each of the major regional cycles, the less-well known East Anglian and Cornish traditions, the morality drama and saints' plays. Two illustrated chapters are devoted to the performance of medieval plays, in their own time and in recent modern revivals. A full reference section includes a guide to scholarship and criticism, an extensive classified bibliography and a chronological table. 410 0$aCambridge companions to literature. 606 $aTheater$zEngland$xHistory$yMedieval, 500-1500 606 $aBible plays, English$xHistory and criticism 606 $aChristian drama, English (Middle)$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEnglish drama$yTo 1500$xHistory and criticism 606 $aTheater$xProduction and direction$zEngland$xHistory 606 $aMysteries and miracle-plays, English$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aTheater$xHistory 615 0$aBible plays, English$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aChristian drama, English (Middle)$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEnglish drama$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aTheater$xProduction and direction$xHistory. 615 0$aMysteries and miracle-plays, English$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a792/.0942/0902 702 $aBeadle$b Richard 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996216691903316 996 $aCambridge companion to medieval english theatre$9890141 997 $aUNISA
