THE EARLY RELIGIOUS DRAMA
For bibliographical purposes the following works should be consulted :
Stoddard, F. H. , References for Students of Miracle-Plays and Mysteries,
University of California Library Bulletin 1887, Berkeley (reviewed in Anglia,
vol. XI, pp. 325 ff. ); Greg, List of Plays; Chambers, E. K. , vol. 1, pp. xiii-
xlii, for a list of works made use of in the book; vol. 11, Appendix w, for a list
of dramatic performances in England, topographically arranged; Appendix x
for a catalogue of English dramatic texts; Greg, W. W. Bibliographical
and Textual Problems of the English Miracle Cycles, 1914.
For the general history of the medieval religious drama and its origins
the reader is referred to Creizenach, Chambers and Klein; as well as to
Mone, F. J. , Schauspiele des Mittelalters, Karlsruhe, 1846; Sepet, M. , Le
Drame chrétien au Moyen Âge, Paris, 1878; Hase, K. , Das geistliche Schau-
spiel des Mittelalters (Leipzig, 1858); E. tr. by Jackson, A. W. , 1880; and to
other works mentioned in the bibliographies contained in Chambers, in
Schelling, and in Bates, K. L. , The English Religious Drama, 1893. See also
Smith, G. Gregory, The Transition Period (Periods of European Literature),
1903.
The liturgical drama and its evolution are discussed, more especially, by
Gayley, u. i. ; Sepet, M. , Origines catholiques du Théâtre Moderne, Paris, 1901;
Du Méril, Origines Latines du Théâtre Moderne, vol. 1, Paris, 1849; and
Ebert, A. , Entwicklungsgeschichte der französ. Tragödie, Gotha, 1856. For
the texts of the Quem quaeritis see Wright, T. , Early Mysteries and other
Latin Poems, 1838. Examples of the liturgical drama are included in Manly's
Specimens, vol. 1. Among other collections Coussemaker, E. de, Drames
liturgiques du Moyen Âge, 1860, contains the music with the text. The
liturgical plays of Hilarius have been edited by Champollion-Figeac, J. J.
,
Hilarii Versus et Ludi, Paris, 1838; for accounts of these see Morley, H. ,
vol. I, part 2, pp. 542 ff. , and Ward, vol. 1, pp. 37 ff. For an account of
Anglo-Norman religious drama see Petit de Julleville, u. i. ; as to the allegori-
cal productions of Guillaume Herman and (? ) Étienne Langton see La Rue,
G. de, Essais historiques sur les Bardes et les Trouvères, vol. II, pp. 270-2
and vol. III, pp. 5-11, Caen, 1834; Archaeologia, vol. XIII, pp. 231-4, 1880;
Klein, vol. iv, pp. 107-8.
The transition from the liturgical to the secular drama-from the Church
to the guild-is described by Gayley, chap. VI. Cf. Leach, A. F. , Some
English Plays and Players, in Furnivall Miscellany, 1901, pp. 205-234, for
the view that the miracle-plays did not originate in the monasteries, but were
throughout (in England at all events), in the hands of the civic authorities
and the craft guilds, assisted by the secular clergy.
The following select bibliography includes only works relating to the
English branch of the early English Religious Drama (including the
moralities).
