The City and the Parish: Drama in York and Beyond

- Shifting Paradigms in Early English Drama Studies

About The City and the Parish: Drama in York and Beyond

This collection of essays focuses especially on the York plays: on the Mercers¿ documents that initiated the project itself; on the theology and christology of the plays; on the relationship between the plays and contemporary administrative bodies, both civic and national; and on the performance of the York plays in modern times. A further group of articles considers documentary evidence for the wide range of drama and mimetic ceremony in the Midlands and the West Country, reinforcing our understanding that these events took place predominately on a local parish level. The collection is rounded out with a survey of the immense changes that our reading of early English drama have undergone over the past half century.
