theater, portrayals of Christ's healing of the lame man on the York

New essays on topics from love and sexuality to physical handicaps,
old age, good and bad fortune, women's virtues, art and literature,
and the writing of manuscripts. Fifteenth-Century Studies has
appeared annually since 1977. It publishes essays on all aspects of
life in the 15th century, including literature, drama, history,
philosophy, art, music, religion, science, and ritual and custom.
The editors strive to do justice to the most contested medieval
century, a period that defies consensus on fundamental issues. In
this volume the standard synopsis of research on 15th-c. theater is
followed by essays on reflection/meditation on love and sexuality,
physical handicaps, old age, betrayal, and false accusations.
Contributors investigate good and bad fortune and human reactions
to it, as well as women's virtues. Essays deal with poetry, prose,
and drama, while others explore art, looking at illuminations,
fresco, and tapestry from the vantage point of hagiography and
romance. Finally, there is an essay on scribes, codices, and
manuscripts from the perspective of New Philology. Contributors: E.

Articles on drama, letter-writing, Arthurian romances, translation,
mythology and folklore, print media, and Pizan, Sachs, Schedel,
Chartier, and Henryson. The fifteenth century defies consensus on
fundamental issues; most scholars agree, however, that this period
outgrew the Middle Ages, that it was a time of transition and a
passage to modern times. Founded in 1977 as the publication organ
for the Fifteenth-Century Symposia, Fifteenth-Century Studies
offers essays on diverse aspects of the fifteenth century,
including liberal and fine arts, historiography, medicine, and
religion. Following the standard opening article on the current
state of fifteenth-century drama research, volume 33 offers essays
investigating authors such as Christine de Pizan, Hans Sachs,
Hartmann Schedel, Alain Chartier, and Robert Henryson. Genres and
themes treated include drama, epistles of persuasion, late
Arthurian romances, translations, mythology and folklore, print
media, and art appreciation. Alternative interpretations are
afforded by Franco Mormando's study of male nakedness and the
Franciscans. Twelve book reviews round out the volume.
