Print on Demand. This book is an in-depth study of the religious theatrical performances once popular across Europe, known as Religious Dramas or Mysteries. These plays, which formed the foundation of modern theatre, were particularly prominent in the English city of Coventry, where they were known as Corpus Christi Plays, performed annually by the city's trade guilds. The author presents a wealth of evidence from ancient guild records, including detailed accounts, character lists, and stage directions. These have been collected and collated to give a vivid and comprehensive insight into the management, machinery, costumes, characters, and internal economy of these performances. The book also examines the broader historical context of these plays, exploring their origins and evolution, as well as their role in medieval religious and social life. It sheds light on the significance of these performances in shaping the development of English drama and offers a unique glimpse into the vibrant religious culture of the Middle Ages. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.

Sinopsis

Excerpt from Dissertation on the Pageants, or Dramatic Mysteries Anciently Performed at Coventry, by the Trading Companies of That City: Chiefly With Reference to the Vehicle, Characters, and Dresses of the Actors

Hawkins, in his Origin of the English Drama, gave the first entire specimen of these Mysteries, by printing Parfre's Candlemas Day, and which, until of late years, was the only one that had been committed to the press; but be merely names the Coventry and Chester Mysteries in a note; whilst in Dodsley's Old Plays, they are scarcely brought forward, instead of taking the lead, as they should have done, in one or both of these publications.
