Sinossi
Excerpt from The Liturgical Element in the Earliest, Forms of the Medieval Drama: With Special Reference to the English and German Plays
Considering the attractiveness of the subject, it is not surprising to find that a great many investigators in the field of the early drama have turned their attention to the Latin and early vernacular plays and have drawn conclusions of various kinds in regard to their sources and develop ment. For the purpose of a brief but comprehensive survey of the entire field of the early medieval drama, the various writers may be divided into four groups, with the understanding, however, that the groups are not sharply defined, but to some extent overlap each other.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the relationship between liturgical plays and the composition and development of medieval drama texts, particularly the mystery plays, and draws conclusions based on the analysis of extant sources. It begins with a brief survey of the origins, emphasizing the importance of the liturgical context in which the plays were performed and the manner in which they were gradually transformed into recognizable plays. The author analyzes plays centered on Biblical or Apocryphal subjects, and shows the influence of the liturgy on the development of the plays. He identifies liturgical tags, stage directions, and structural cues that establish the liturgical source of the plays. The book also covers the development of transitional plays, as well as secularized vernacular plays in various languages, which the author argues retain the influence of the liturgy. The final chapters focus on the plays' thematic structure, the significance of symbols, and their reception, concluding with a discussion of the impact of the liturgical plays on the development of both religious and secular drama. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
