Religion, Drama, and the Impact of Change

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Approaching individual plays in the Chester cycle from the point of view of recent and startling research findings, this volume investigates how new sources shift our understanding of the last years of cycle's performance. The essays help to clarify our current perception that it was not a nation-wide policy of suppression, but rather a complex network of local pressures, that affected the decline and eventual abandonment of civic religious drama.
