Review:
The appearance of a long-awaited edition of an important text inevitably raises great hopes and expectations. That expectation is fulfilled. This is an excellent text. * Peter Meredith, University of Leeds, Modern Language Review, Vol. 92, Part 2 * The text ... is admirably uncluttered and minimally alterd, and can be read side-by-side with the notes. * Pamela M. King, Medium Aevum, LXV.2 * This edition of the Towneley Plays is to be welcomed, for its appearance means that there are now modern editions of all four of the extant Mystery Cycles in English. Doubts about language, coherence, authorship and performance of the Towneley Plays will remain, but there are still many features of this edition which will make it an authoritative base for future scholarship. * Peter Happe, University of Southampton, Review of English Studies, Vol. XLVII, No. 188, 1996 * This new and well-executed edition, based on a fresh examination and transcription of the manuscript and drawing on the extensive work on medieval drama that has been undertaken in the present century, is welcome and much needed. With the addition of this important work by Stevens and Cawley we now have sound and up-to-date editions of all four cycles of medieval English mystery plays. * George Jack, University of St Andrews, English Studies, Volume 77, Number 3, May 1996 *
