Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Modern Philology, Vol. 5: 1907-1908 The historians of the English drama, in seeking to record its origin and development, have almost without exception failed to take notice of the Middle English religious lyric in its relation to the Corpus Christi plays. An occasional note, made at random from time to time, indicates, it is true, that certain writers have been aware that a relation of some sort exists between these two forms of Middle English literature. These notes, however, have for the most part concerned themselves with calling attention to very slight, though interesting, parallels. It is with such similarities, for example, that the observations of Wright, Hone, Courthope, E. Mall, and W. A. Craigie have had to do. Davidson, moreover, and Chambers have taken notice in a very general fashion of the fact that the plays are very considerably indebted to the great body of devotional poetry of the day; while Cook has called attention to the frequent occurrence of the Testament of Christ in Middle English literature.
