SOME BOOKS ON MEDIEVAL DRAMA
CHAPTER I. The relationships between ritual and drama are developed in
Herbert Weisinger, Tragedy and the Paradox of the Fortunate Fall ( London,
1953). Extreme views on the origin of medieval drama in pagan ritual are found
in Robert Stumpfl, Kultspiele der Germanen als Ursprung des mittelalterlichen
Drama ( Berlin, 1936) and B. Hunningher, The Origin of the Theater ( The
Hague & Amsterdam, 1955).
CHAPTER II-III. Latin texts of the pieces discussed are in Karl Young, The
Drama of the Mediaeval Church ( Oxford, 1933). English and Latin texts of
the Regularis Concordia are in the edition of Thomas Symonds ( Oxford, 1953),
the quem quaeritis on pp. 49 - 50. English translations of some of the text can be
found in J. Q. Adams, Chief Pre-Shakespearean Dramas ( Cambridge, Mass.,
1924). Robert Schenkkan and Kai Jurgensen, Fourteen Plays for the Church
( New Brunswick, N. J., 1948); and David Fay Robinson, The Harvard
Dramatic Club Miracle Plays ( New York and London, 1928) contain texts
of several liturgical and continental pieces adapted for church dramatic
societies. Discussions of the liturgical drama are found in Sir E. K. Chambers,
The Mediaeval Stage ( Oxford, 1903), with which compare his later English
Literature at the Close of the Middle Ages ( Oxford, 1947); and Hardin Craig,
English Religious Drama of the Middle Ages ( Oxford, 1955).
CHAPTER IV. The Shrewsbury Fragments are in Adams and in Osborne
Waterhouse, The Non-Cycle Mystery Plays, Early English Text Society, extra
series, 104 ( London, 1909). Rossell Hope Robbins published one of the French-
English fragments in Modern Language Notes, vol. 65 ( 1950), pp. 30 - 35 ; and
J. P. Gilson the other in Times Literary Supplement, 26 May 1921, pp. 340-41,
with discussion in the issues of 2 June, p. 356, and 9 June, p. 373. The French
text of Adam is edited by Paul Studer as Mystère d'Adam ( Manchester, 1918);
an English translation by Edward Noble Stone appears in the University of
Washington Publications in Language and Literature, vol. 4, no. 2 ( Seattle,
1926). Only the French text of the Anglo-Norman Resurrection is available,
edited by T. A. Jenkins and others, Anglo-Norman Texts, vol. 4 ( Oxford,
1943).
CHAPTER V-VI. Records of the craft plays are found in Chambers, The
Mediaeval Stage; Craig, English Religious Drama, and his edition of the two
Coventry Plays, Early English Text Society, extra series, 87 ( London, 1902);
and F. M. Salter, Mediaeval Drama in Chester (Toronto, 1955). The standard
edition of the Chester Plays is by Herman Diemling, Early English Text
Society, extra series, 62 and 115 ( London, 1892, 1916); Maurice Hussey has
modernized the cycle, The Chester Mystery Plays ( London, 1957). Lucy
Toulmin Smith's edition of the York Plays ( Oxford, 1885) is still the only
complete text, though the version prepared by Rev. J. S. Purvis for presenta-
