Bemerkung:

Sehr gutes Ex. - Englisch. // The Theatre of Medieval Europe brings together the work of thirteen internationally recognised scholars of early drama to give a comprehensive account of recent findings in the field. While reflecting the large body of research on English drama, the book widens the focus of its survey to represent the continental theatre of the period, with a succession of essays covering France, Italy, Spain, Germany, central Europe and the Low-Countries. In addition, it deals with Latin musical and liturgical drama, and addresses both the archival and stage-oriented aspects of theatre research. In reviewing the subject in this way, the collection not only offers an account of recent discoveries across a range of countries and types of drama, but also suggests the comparative and interdisciplinary ground on which these areas of research may increasingly come to meet and cross-fertilise one another in the future. A major feature of the book is its authoritative, chronological and fully indexed bibliography, which should serve as an invaluable guide to the most significant contributions in the field. ?
