Books in the Tudor Interludes series

The series is performing an important service by providing fully annotated editions of Tudor humanists and playwrights in the original Tudor English, with glossaries and listing of textual variants and doubtful readings. COMPARATIVE DRAMA

Medwall's two surviving plays are among the few extant examples of 15th century household drama.

Two-volume collection providing the first opportunity to consider Bale's surviving dramatic work as a whole in the original language. His plays explore the theological and political implications of the English Reformation and offers a Protestant counterblast to the English mystery cycles.

Featuring three interludes, this volume includes "The Four Elements" which is unique in its genre of scientific morality play. Rastell composed it himself to expound the rudiments of natural science and to air his own frustrating experience of venturing to the New World, in 1517.

Intended for dramatisation by young scholars, these three interludes blend boisterous English comedy with humanist interest in the classical world.
