Historically and broadly defined as the period between the fall of
the Roman Empire and the rise of the Renaissance, the Middle Ages
encompass a millennium of cultural conflicts and developments. A
large body of mystery, passion, miracle and morality plays
cohabited with song, dance, farces and other public spectacles,
frequently sharing ecclesiastical and secular inspiration. A
Cultural History of Theatre in the Middle Ages provides a
comprehensive and interdisciplinary overview of the cultural
history of theatre between 500 and 1500, and imaginatively pieces
together the puzzle of medieval theatre by foregrounding the study
of performance. Each of the ten chapters of this richly illustrated
volume takes a different theme as its focus: institutional
frameworks; social functions; sexuality and gender; the environment
of theatre; circulation; interpretations; communities of
production; repertoire and genres; technologies of performance; and
knowledge transmission.
