Excerpt from The Mediaeval Stage, Vol. 2
The discussions of the first volume have Often wandered far enough from the history of the stage. But two or three tolerable generalizations emerge. The drama as a living form Of art went completely under at the break-up of the Roman world a process of natural decay was accelerated by the hostility of Christianity, which denied the theatre, and by the indifference of barbarism, which had never imagined it. If anything of a histrionic tradition survived, it took the shape of pitiable farce, one amongst many heterogeneous elements in the spectacular of disreputable mimes. For the men of the Middle Ages, however, peasants or burghers, monks or nobles, such spectacula had a constant attraction and the persistence of the deep-rooted mimetic instinct in the folk is proved by the frequent outcrops of primitive drama in the course of those popular Observances which are the last sportive stage of ancient heathen ritual. Whether of folk or of minstrel origin, the ludi remained to the last alien and distasteful to the Church. The degradation Of Rome and Constantinople by the stage was never forgotten nor the association with an heathenism that was glossed over rather than extinct: and though a working compromise inevitably tended to establish itself, it remained subject to perpetual protest from the austerer Spirit in the counsels of the Clergy.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This captivating masterpiece explores the origins of theatre. The author delineates how the drama, after lying dormant in the wake of the Roman Empire, emerged during medieval times from the rituals of the Christian church. In the grand cathedrals of Europe, liturgical dramas began as mere extensions of religious practice. Yet within these humble beginnings, the seeds of modern theatre took root. From the Quem Quaeritis trope of the Easter service to the elaborate pageantry of mystery plays, this book traces the evolution of theatrical forms. Blending history, literary analysis, and cultural insights, it unveils the profound impact of Christian ritual on the development of Western drama, showcasing how religious ceremonies sowed the seeds of theatrical storytelling that would flourish in centuries to come.
