About The Book
The Cambridge Companion to Medieval English Theatre, Second Edition, offers an updated and comprehensive introduction to the vibrant world of medieval English theatre. This 424-page paperback edition, first published in 2008, continues to be an essential guide for students, scholars, and anyone interested in the dramatic traditions of the English Middle Ages.
This edition provides a thorough exploration of the mystery cycles, morality drama, and saints’ plays that flourished between the late fourteenth and mid-sixteenth centuries. The book emphasizes the rich regional diversity of the period and engages with the unique theatrical and literary values of these plays.
New to this edition are three entirely new chapters, including one that delves into the cultural significance of early drama, making it even more relevant for contemporary readers. Existing chapters have been carefully revised and updated, ensuring the book remains at the forefront of scholarship on medieval theatre.
The thoroughly revised reference section includes an updated guide to scholarship and criticism, an expanded and classified bibliography, and a detailed chronological table, making this work an invaluable resource for anyone studying or teaching medieval English theatre.
