Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a significant exploration of the "University Drama" as it took shape in England after the middle of the 15th century up until the time of the Restoration. The author presents the development of this dramatic form against the backdrop of the Reformation and its continuing impact on the nation's academic culture, especially at Oxford and Cambridge. The book explores the characteristics of these early English theatrical productions, including their subject matter and sources of inspiration, their relationship to the popular theatre, the ways in which they reected the rifts in contemporary religious and political thought, and the role of the universities as their patrons and censors. It also provides detailed analysis of the key works in the genre and assesses their relevance in literary history. Ultimately, this book makes a notable contribution to our understanding of a unique period of English theatre history. By tracing the University Drama in its various forms, the author advances a fascinating study of how the relationship between the pursuit of knowledge and the power of dramatic art helped to shape the culture of the English Renaissance.
