The mediaeval stage, volume 2 (of 2)
The Mediaeval Stage, published in 1903 by E. K. Chambers, a civil servant and scholar of the English theater, remains a landmark in the study of medieval drama and popular entertainment. This second volume treats religious drama: the liturgical plays that grew out of the Latin services of Easter and Christmas, their secularization, the great cycles of guild and parish plays, the moralities, puppet plays and pageants. It then turns to the interlude, its players and the meeting of humanism and medieval tradition. Long appendices print documents on minstrels, account-book entries, sword dances and folk plays. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
