Publisher's Synopsis
The English Religious Drama by Katharine Lee Bates is a comprehensive study of the religious drama in England from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance. The book explores the origins and development of the religious drama, including the mystery plays, miracle plays, and morality plays, as well as the influence of the church and the changing attitudes towards religion during this period. Bates examines the various themes and motifs in the religious drama, such as the nativity, passion, and resurrection of Christ, and the role of the devil and other supernatural beings. She also analyzes the use of language, music, and stagecraft in the performances, and the impact of the drama on the audience and society. The English Religious Drama is a valuable resource for scholars and students of English literature, theater history, and religious studies, as well as anyone interested in the cultural and social history of medieval and Renaissance England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
