Aspects of medieval theatre examined for reflection of contemporary
life. The essays in this volume explore ways in which plays and
public spectacles mirrored the beliefs and values of the late
medieval world. Topics covered include seasonal festivals, trade
gilds, stagecraft, and the role played by themunicipal governments
in fostering and controlling dramatic productions. The geographic
range takes in all western Europe, with particular consideration of
the connections between the various medieval European dramatic
traditions. Inter-disciplinary in approach, perspectives range from
the history of theatre to cultural and political history and
literary criticism. There is particular emphasis on the real
advances that can be made in expanding knowledge of medieval
theatre through research in local and regional archives. ALAN E.
KNIGHT is professor emeritus of French at the Pennsylvania State
University. Contributors: ALEXANDRA F. JOHNSTON, LYNETTE R. MUIR,
PAMELA SHEINGORN, R.B. DOBSON, GERARD NIJSTEN, CLIFFORD DAVIDSON,
WIM HUESKEN, STEPHEN SPECTOR, ALAN E. KNIGHT
