Description: What is medieval religious drama, and what function does it serve in negotiating between the domains of theology and popular life? This book aims to answer these questions by studying three sets of these dramas from Germany, France, England, and Spain: 10th-century Easter plays, 12th-century Adam plays, and 15th- and 16th-century Passion plays.

Review Quotes: "Medievalists in general as well as scholars of drama in particular will find this an important and thought-provoking study that is as relevant now as it was thirty years ago."--Claire Sponsler, University of Iowa
