Dramatic Texts and Records of Britain: A Chronological Topography (Studies in Early English Drama) - Hardcover
In 1800 entries this valuable reference work covers texts and records of dramatic activity for about 400 sites in Britain from Roman times to 1558. Grouped in sections – Texts listed chronologically; Records of England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland and Other, classified by county, site, and date; and Doubtful Texts and Records – the entries summarize the contents of each record and give bibliographic information.
Professor Lancashire presents a comprehensive survey of almost every type of literary and historical record, document, and work: civic, church, guild, monastic and royal court minutes and financial accounts; national records – Chancery, Parliament, Privy Council, Exchequer; royal proclamations; wills; local court rolls; jest-books, poems, prose treatises, sermons; archaeological remains, artifacts, illustrations. He brings together works in several normally unrelated fields: Roman theatre in Britain; medieval drama as such, including the Corpus Christi play and the moral play; court revels of the Tudors and of their predecessors in England and Scotland; and finally Latin and Greek drama as played in Oxford and Cambridge colleges.
An introduction outlines the history of early drama in Britain. Appendixes include indexes of about 335 towns or patrons with travelling players, complete with rough itineraries; about 180 playwrights; and about 320 playing places and buildings. There are illustrations, four maps and a large general subject and name index

Book Description Hard Cover. Condition: Fine. "This topographical guide to British dramtic texts and records up to the accession of Elizabeth I is less than a full descriptive calendar and more than a finding list. Each entry has four parts: 1) a reference number; 2) a date or chronological limits; 3) the name of a text; 4) a brief bibliographical reference to the most reliable published editions of the text or record, or - lacking those- to manuscript sources. The author has tried to be complete up to 1558." FINE HARDCOVER. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Seller Inventory # 017402
