A collection of all known documentary evidence relating to drama
and performance in pre-Cromwellian Ireland. This book is the winner
of the Beatrice White Prize, awarded annually for outstanding
scholarly work in English literature before 1590, for 2001. Drama
and performance in Ireland call to mind the present rather than the
ancient past, yet Irish dramatic and performative traditions were
far richer before the coming of Cromwell than has generally been
appreciated. This book aims to repair a deficit in our knowledge.
It draws together all known documentary evidence for drama and
performance in Ireland up until the closure of the first public
theatre in Dublin in 1641. Historical documents, many never before
published, are given pride of place, but a generous selection of
pertinentliterary sources has been included among the Appendices. A
historical overview of Irish drama and performance prefaces the
record collection, and descriptions are given of every manuscript
and early printed book from which the records featuring in the book
have been taken, as well as translations of items recorded in
Irish, Latin or French. The book thus provides an invaluable
database for a range of disciplines, from students of Irish culture
to social historians, theatre historians and musicologists. ALAN J.
FLETCHER is Lecturer in English Language and medieval Literature,
University College Dublin.
