Excerpt from A List of English Plays Written Before 1643 and Printed Before 1700 Ale togetleer by tire Ears. These I hope some day to deal with in a separate work. The plays are arranged under authors as far as these can be ascertained with any reasonable degree of certainty, asterisks being prefixed to entries of editions which contain neither author's name nor initials; in cases of joint authorship the play appears under the author whose name appears first on the titlepage or the most important of the authors where the play is anonymous; cross-references from the other authors will be found in the Index of Authors. Under the authors the collected editions are given first, then the editions of separate plays in chronological order of the first dated editions. Plays which it is im possible to assign with any degree of certainty will be found at the end under the heading of Authors Unknown. For convenience of reference the translations from Seneca published in the collected plays of that author in 1581 appear under his name; otherwise translations will be found under the name of the translator with a cross-reference from the author in the Index of Authors. For the same reason the plays added to the 1664 folio of Shakespeare will be found under the heading Pseudo Sbakerpearr'an Play: at the end of the entry Shakespeare. An alphabetical Index of Plays has been added giving the name of the author under which they are to be found, and the date of the first edition.

The English Morality Play

ISBN: 1000928624

First published in 1975, The English Morality Play is the extended history of the English morality play, its persistence and flourishing as a dramatic tradition. The book sheds light on the intellectual and social origins of the morality play, its relationship to the medieval Corpus Christi cycle plays, its subject, purpose, conditions of original staging, and the abstract characters of its dramatis personae. The changing tradition is revealed within Renaissance drama, in the works of Skelton and Medwall, and the Reformation plays of Lindsay, Bale and Udall, as the morality play altered under the pressure of political events, escaped from the general suppression of religious drama, and in complex ways came to influence the dramatic conceptions of Marlowe, Shakespeare and Ben Jonson. Contemporary parallels to the English morality tradition in European drama are investigated, as is the rediscovery of the texts of the plays by eighteenth- and nineteenth-century critics. In the final chapter, Dr. Potter examines the revival of the morality tradition on the twentieth-century stage and its influence on such dramatists as Bernard Shaw, T. S. Eliot, W. B. Yeats and Bertolt Brecht. This book will be of interest to students of literature and drama.
