Excerpt from Bibliographical and Textual Problems of the English Miracle Cycles
Chiefly chapters xviii and xix in the second volume; but the following three chapters have also been freely used. I have Mr. Chambers' courteous permission for the extensive use I have made of his work, but I need hardly say that he is in no degree responsible for any shortcomings of my summary.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores how Christianity developed from its conception; examining liturgical drama, the origin of the miracle plays, and how the Corpus Christi feast influenced their form. Analyzing how the plays reflected, and were a product of the medieval world, it demonstrates how different factors shaped them over time and how they evolved to become a representation of society itself, rich in allusion, type, and allegory. The book offers a fresh perspective on the relationship between religious belief and drama in the medieval period and its legacy.
