The volume contains papers on religious and secular drama in the
Middle Ages and the early modern age presented at a symposium in
Cologne and centering on plays in Latin, Middle High German, Early
New German, Middle Low German, and Middle Dutch. A number of papers
are devoted to forms of ritualization in pre-modern drama, others
examine its relative proximity to liturgy and the (culturally and
liturgically determined) sequence of the seasons, while others
again engage with the staging of the plays in terms of their
ambivalent attempts to appeal to the responsibility of the
individual against the background of an ultimate authority, and to
arouse and instrumentalize emotions. All in all, the papers discuss
the proliferation of early forms of theatricality and in so doing
resume a long overdue theoretical discussion initiated by Rainer
Warning and centering on the genesis, function, and structure of
medieval plays.
