Collected Studies CS1062 This volume brings together a selection of
the major articles of Alexandra F. Johnston, which along with
similar volumes by the late David Mills, Peter Meredith and Meg
Twycross makes up a set of "Shifting Paradigms in Early English
Drama Studies". Alexandra Johnston, the founding director of the
research project, Records of Early English Drama, is one of these
four key scholars whose work has had a profound influence on the
study of medieval and early modern English drama. This collection
of essays focuses especially on the York plays: on the Mercers'
documents that initiated the project itself; on the theology and
christology of the plays; on the relationship between the plays and
contemporary administrative bodies, both civic and national; and on
the performance of the York plays in modern times. A further group
of articles considers documentary evidence for the wide range of
drama and mimetic ceremony in the Midlands and the West Country,
reinforcing our understanding that these events took place
predominately on a local parish level. The collection is rounded
out with a survey of the immense changes that our reading of early
English drama have undergone over the past half century.
