In recent years medieval drama has seen a marked revival of t, much of it informed by an increasing appreciation of its multi-disciplinary nature. The drama of medieval Europe is not just literature it is a social and indeed commercial event, essentially a communal enterprise, inextricably bound up with the structures of society. This collection of essays by international scholars working in collaboration examines various aspects of the inter-relationship between different European communities and the plays they performed. Its coverage of a wide range of theatres and play-types provides a critical and practical perspective on performance cultures of the Northern Middle Ages. The comparative nature of this volume has the effect of underlining drama as a true medieval mass medium.
