First published in 1906, this edition of Magnyfycence aimed to
highlight the true significance of the play within both the canon
of John Skelton's work and English drama. Robert Lee Ramsay
situates Magnyfycence as a morality play which functioned as a
bridge between medieval miracle plays and the modern comedy. He
demonstrates the text's significance as the first example of a play
by an English man of letters and our first example of a secular and
literary rather than theological morality play. This edition
features an extensive scholarly introduction exploring areas such
as the staging, versification, sources and characterisation,
followed by the Middle-English text itself along with glosses.
