Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Liturgical Element in the Earliest, Forms of the Medieval Drama: With Special Reference to the English and German Plays
Considering the attractiveness of the subject, it is not surprising to find that a great many investigators in the field of the early drama have turned their attention to the Latin and early vernacular plays and have drawn conclusions of various kinds in regard to their sources and develop ment. For the purpose of a brief but comprehensive survey of the entire field of the early medieval drama, the various writers may be divided into four groups, with the understanding, however, that the groups are not sharply defined, but to some extent overlap each other.

Excerpt from The Liturgical Element in the Earliest, Forms of the Medieval Drama: With Special Reference to the English and German Plays
As indicated in the introduction below, the present author is by no means the first to point out liturgical formulae in the religious drama. He has merely gone somewhat farther in the application of the idea than has hitherto been attempted. It is also proper to acknowledge that liturgical tags may in many instances have found place in the religious drama by virtue of their having been transferred thither as part of epical or homiletic source material at a later stage than that of the dramatic office in the church service. There can be no question but that the liturgy also underlies a great portion of medieval religious literature and may therefore readily have been a part of secondary sources. During the preparation of this monograph, it was necessary to consult also epical and lyrical poetry of the Middle Ages to some extent, and it became evident with increasing clearness that these branches of literature were influenced largely by the liturgy of the church. In the German field the poem "Biblische geschichte von der Beschaffunge diser Welt bisz aufs jungst gericht gereymt," and in the English field "The Northern Passion," are cases in point.
There is also, no doubt, a certain reactive influence of secular upon religious literature. The English "Harrowing of Hell" is possibly an instance of this kind. If it were possible to discover more manuscripts of this particular work, the difficulty might be solved. Whether the contention advanced a few years ago that this play may have originated with the work of Cynewulf can ever be sustained by the discovery of sufficient evidence, is more than doubtful. In the case of the great body of plays, except those on apochryphal subjects and from apochryphal sources, the contention of the thesis seems to be borne out by the evidence presented even when due allowance is made for the post-liturgical introduction of liturgical materials.
The preparation of the monograph has been a delightful task, not only on account of the interesting material with which it is concerned, but especially on account of the help and inspiration of Professor Hardin Craig, who directed the progress of the work, and to whose unflagging interest and assistance the author freely acknowledges his indebtedness. To all others, also, members of the teaching staff of the University of Minnesota, as well as friends that have assisted with advice or interest, the author wishes to express his grateful appreciation.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the relationship between liturgical plays and the composition and development of medieval drama texts, particularly the mystery plays, and draws conclusions based on the analysis of extant sources. It begins with a brief survey of the origins, emphasizing the importance of the liturgical context in which the plays were performed and the manner in which they were gradually transformed into recognizable plays. The author analyzes plays centered on Biblical or Apocryphal subjects, and shows the influence of the liturgy on the development of the plays. He identifies liturgical tags, stage directions, and structural cues that establish the liturgical source of the plays. The book also covers the development of transitional plays, as well as secularized vernacular plays in various languages, which the author argues retain the influence of the liturgy. The final chapters focus on the plays' thematic structure, the significance of symbols, and their reception, concluding with a discussion of the impact of the liturgical plays on the development of both religious and secular drama. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
