The earliest complete morality play in English, The Castle of Perseverance depicts the culture of medieval East Anglia, a region once known for its production of artistic objects.

BOOK EXCERPT:
Pathos as Communicative Strategy in Late-Medieval Religious Drama and Art explores the strategies employed to trigger emotional responses in late-medieval dramatic texts from several Western European traditions, and juxtaposes these texts with artistic productions from the same areas, with an emphasis on Britain. The aim is to unravel the mechanisms through which pathos was produced and employed, mainly through the representation of pain and suffering, with mainly religious, but also political aims. The novelty of the book resides in its specific linguistic perspective, which highlights the recurrent use of words, structures and dialogic patterns in drama to reinforce messages on the salvific value of suffering, in synergy with visual messages produced in the same cultural milieu.

BOOK EXCERPT:
Every generation reinvents Shakespeare for its own needs, imagining through its particular choices and emphases the Shakespeare that it values. The man himself was deeply involved in his own kind of historical reimagining. This collection of essays examines the playwright's medieval sources and inspiration, and how they shaped his works. With a foreword by Michael Almereyda (director of the Hamlet starring Ethan Hawke) and dramaturge Dakin Matthews, these thirteen essays analyze the ways in which our modern understanding of medieval life has been influenced by our appreciation of Shakespeare's plays.

BOOK EXCERPT:
Die Bedeutung von musizierenden Engeln in florentinischen Trecento-Gemälden ist umstritten: Einige meinen, sie seien einfach Symbole himmlischer Musik; andere argumentieren, dass es sich um echte Menschen handele, die echte Musik machen. Eine Argumentationslinie besagt sogar, dass die textlosen Stimmen in Manuskripten weltlicher Musik für die Instrumentalaufführung gedacht waren. Diese Studie löst den Streit, indem sie den Entstehungsprozess von Kunstwerken analysiert und Bilder mit zeitgenössischen Dokumenten in Beziehung setzt. Chroniken und Zahlungsaufzeichnungen dokumentieren die Praxis von Bruderschaften, Laudesi vor einem Bild der Jungfrau Maria zu singen, wobei sie wie Engel gekleidet sind, manchmal mit Instrumentalbegleitung.

BOOK EXCERPT:
In this study Bardzell unveils the way signification in medieval allegorical narrative depends not on Aristotelian theories of language, but rather on an alternative theory of language, which began with the Stoics and was transmitted through the Middle Ages via grammar theory.

BOOK EXCERPT:
This collection of essays in English by scholars of international standing presents new insights into the contexts in which the fifteenth-century French mystères were created. It is centred upon the remarkable outburst of large-scale plays written for urban production and dealing with biblical and hagiological subjects which transformed the art of theatre in France and gave rise to a new and multi-faceted theatrical culture. Among the subjects treated are the means by which surviving texts preserve theatrical practice, and some of the ways in which the work of the principal dramatists Eustache Mercadé, Arnoul Gréban and Jean Michel interact with one another and with the work of others. The nature of some surviving texts is subjected to close scrutiny and this includes detailed work upon some manuscripts and their typology. Attention is also given to the related moralités, the convent drama, and to the large corpus of Catalan plays which deal with similar topics but in different circumstances. Further contexts are addressed through paradramatic aspects including sermons and the chansons de geste, as well as the political environment. One recurring feature is the nature and activities of ubiquitous and powerful evil characters and their theatrical and theological significance.
