Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book consists of ten Medieval plays written between the ninth and sixteenth centuries. These plays, sampled from the immensely popular religious cycles of their day, give a unique glimpse into how laypeople understood the Bible. These accessible and entertaining plays were performed… by the local tradesmen's guilds in the streets of medieval English towns during religious holidays and festivals. The origins of religious drama lie in the liturgy of the medieval church, where they developed from simple musical dialogues called tropes, gradually incorporating more elaborate elements, including costuming, properties, and an eventual shift from Latin to vernacular languages. These plays brought the great biblical narratives to life for the largely illiterate population of the Middle Ages, vividly dramatizing the people and events of the Old and New Testaments. They also tackled complex theological ideas through the use of allegory and symbolism, revealing how deeply the medieval imagination was steeped in the stories and values of the Christian faith. 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. print-on-demand item.
