Opis

Darryll Grantley has created a guide to that genre of entertainment, known as the Interlude. Starting in the fourteenth century, Interludes included a variety of works not considered part of cycle plays. This easy-to-use reference guide to each of the extant Interludes and fragments (c. 100) includes: account of early editions or manuscripts; authors or sources; modern editions; plot summary and dramatis personae; social issues in the plays; verbal and dramaturgical features; and staging directions, among other valuable details. A bibliography and appendices are also included.

Recenzje

'Cambridge University Press is to be congratulated on the production of a sturdily bound volume with clear typeface and sensible margins. Easy to use with sensible use of bold typeface to indicate different section content, this reasonably priced reference guide will be the definitive work on its subject, English Dramatic Interludes. This major work should be in every library acquiring materials on English literature and English drama.' William Baker, Northern Illinois University
