Praise for Dennis Hamley and "Pageants of Despair"
"The history is fascinatingHamley has hit on the right road back to such lace-edged, antique virtues as honesty, gentleness, vision, and love.""Best Sellers"
"The ancient tussle between God and the Devil seems to lie at the heart of this tale of sinister skullduggery in the Middle Ages. A good deal of background information on the Mystery Plays and extracts from some of the performances crystallise the setting; the atmosphere of religious superstition and its hold over simple folk are captured with a grim reality and a sense of lurking foreboding. [Readers who]allow the tensions of time and mystery to work will share a strange experience in an unfamiliar world.""The Junior Bookshelf"
"Hamley does create a lively picture of how the audiences and actors must have responded to the powerful messages of the miracle plays.""Kirkus Reviews"
"The pageants are a frightening battlegroundreplete with medieval images of corporeal and spiritual corruptionfrom which Peter and his friends emerge triumphant.""Booklist""
