Collected Studies CS 1068 The essays selected for this volume are
chosen to reflect the important and intersecting ways in which over
the last forty years Meg Twycross has shifted paradigms for people
reading early English religious drama. The focus of Meg Twycross's
research has been on performance in its many aspects, and this
volume chooses four of the most important strands of her work - the
York plays; new ways of understanding acting and performance in
late medieval theatre, particularly in Britain and across Europe;
why scenes are staged in the ways they are, verbally and by
extrapolation visually, by close reading of texts against the
background of medieval theology; and the attention paid to wider
contexts of medieval theatre - concentrating especially on essays
that are not easily available today. These thematic strands are
reflective of Meg Twycross's major contribution to the field. They
also represent those areas from her wider work which will have most
utility and value for those, whether students or senior specialists
in areas beyond early drama, who are looking for ways into
understanding English medieval plays. The crucial work that has
been done here has opened new perspectives on late medieval
theatre, and will allow new generations to begin their study and
research from further along the road.
