Book Description
The drama of the English Middle Ages is perennially popular with students and theatre audiences alike, and this is an updated edition of a book which has established itself as a standard guide to the field. The Cambridge Companion to Medieval English Theatre, second edition continues to provide an authoritative introduction and an up-to-date, illustrated guide to the mystery cycles, morality drama and saints' plays which flourished from the late fourteenth to the mid-sixteenth centuries. The book emphasises regional diversity in the period and engages with the literary and particularly the theatrical values of the plays. Existing chapters have been revised and updated where necessary, and there are three entirely new chapters, including one on the cultural significance of early drama. A thoroughly revised reference section includes a guide to scholarship and criticism, an enlarged classified bibliography and a chronological table.

Book Description
It has been widely accepted that the 10th-century liturgical plays developed naturally as a religious entity from the Mass. This approach is critiqued in The Origin of Medieval Drama where Leonard Goldstein places the development of the plays within the socio-economic context of the period, most notably the rapid rise of feudalism. Goldstein argues that the plays were a response by the Church to a decline in faith brought on by the burdens of feudalism on the peasantry. However, instead of revitalising faith, the plays which sought to assure the peasantry of their salvation actually represented and therefore reinforced the emerging private property relation. In looking at the origins of ancient Greek drama where scholars have concentrated more on social and cultural issues, Goldstein develops a Marxist model for the origins of medieval drama.

Book Description
Originally published in 1990, Medieval English Drama is an exhaustive bibliography of scholarship on medieval English drama. Each item has been annotated in the bibliography with considerable care; these annotations are descriptive rather than critical and give a clear synopsis of the content of each reference, the texts with which it deals, and a brief indication of its critical position. The bibliography is divided into two sections; editions and collections of plays, and critical works. The bibliography is exhaustive rather than selective and provides English annotations for foreign language works, as well as a list of reviews for most books. The book covers liturgical and folk drama, other forms of entertainment, and related material useful to researchers in the field. The book provides an update of sources not listed in Carl J. Stratman's comprehensive Bibliography of Medieval Drama published in 1972.
