This book provides a needed new interpretation of the complex
cultural meanings of the late medieval, guild-produced, biblical
plays of York and Chester, England, commonly known as mystery
plays. It argues that the plays are themselves a "drama of
masculinity," that is, dramatic activity specifically and
self-consciously concerned with the fantasies and anxieties of
being male in the urban, mercantile worlds of their performance. It
further contends that the plays in their historical performance
contexts produced and reinforced masculine communities defined by
occupation, thus visibly naturalizing the world of work as
masculine. The book offers welcome insight into a significant,
canonical genre of dramatic literature that has been studied
previously in devotional and civic contexts, but not yet in its
role in the cultural history of masculinity.
