LIT  107B CM - Medieval Drama

This course provides a survey of medieval dramatic literature including liturgical drama, morality plays, the drama of saints and conversion, the raucous tavern plays of Arras, France, and the epic cycles performed in York, Chester, and Wakefield. Questions related to theatricality and performance will be central to our examination of these plays: how, where, and in what contexts were they performed, and who were the actors? Readings will be supplemented with a wide range of interdisciplinary materials including visual media, financial accounts, props lists, anti-theatrical treatises, and modern performances.

Offered: Every third year
