Everyman, and Medieval Miracle PlaysArthur C. Cawley Dent, 1956 - 266 pages Apart from the morality play "Everyman", this volume contains a completely new selection of biblical pageants, some of which ultimately go back to the Latin liturgical drama of the medieval Church. They are no less religious in origin and inspiration than the church architecture, painting and sculpture of the Middle Ages. Most of them are Corpus Christi pageants or guild pageants, i.e. short plays acted by the trade guilds as episodes of the whole Corpus Christi cycle. In Professor A.C. Cawley's completely revised and re-edited text, most of the original words of the plays are preserved, but for the convenience of the general reader many archaic forms and spellings are modernized or normalized both within the line and in rhyme. Original stage directions are given and those in Latin are translated. The Introduction and forewords to the individual plays will serve as guides to further reading. -- From publisher's description |
