Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a history of the Weavers Pageant, an important part of Coventry's past. Coventry was famous for its mystery plays, of which the Weavers Pageant is one of the best known. This book describes a copy of the Weavers Pageant playbook that was discovered in 1832. The text has been transcribed, and the author provides a historical context in which to understand the play. Detailed accounts and material relating to the costumes, expenses of production, and staging of the Weavers Pageant are given in the book, showing how closely it was tied to the Weavers' Guild. This allows us to understand the lives of late medieval townspeople. The pageant aimed to commemorate the sequence of events from the birth of Jesus to his appearance as a child in the temple. The author presents the Weavers Pageant as a valuable insight into the religious drama of the period, medieval play-making, and urban history.
