Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the composition and structure of the anonymously authored medieval mystery plays known as the Ludus Coventriae. Traditionally, but erroneously, associated with the city of Coventry, the plays were likely crafted by a group of traveling performers. The author delves into the language, poetic forms, and stage directions of the plays, arguing that they represent a composite work, drawing on materials from various sources and periods. While some portions may have originated in ecclesiastical settings, others exhibit a more earthy, popular origin. Beyond their literary analysis, the plays offer insights into the religious and social values of medieval England. The strong emphasis on the Virgin Mary's life and the elaborate depiction of the Nativity reflect the central role of the Church in society. The plays also explore themes of sin, redemption, and the human condition, revealing a complex and nuanced understanding of Christian theology. Through a meticulous examination of the Ludus Coventriae, this book sheds light on the artistic achievements and cultural significance of medieval English drama, offering a valuable resource for scholars and enthusiasts alike. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N� de r�f. du vendeur 9781333218003_0
