This study argues that late medieval English 'mystery plays' were about masculinity as much as Christian theology, modes of devotion, or civic self-consciousness. Performed repeatedly by generations of merchants and craftsmen, these Biblical plays produced fantasies and anxieties of middle class, urban masculinity, many of which are familiar today.

Few medieval plays in English have attracted as much contemporary interest as the Digby Mary Magdalene, an early-fifteenth-century drama that, as Chester Scoville puts it, is ""probably the most spectacular of the late medieval English plays."" This new edition presents a modernized text of the play, with extensive annotation, an insightful introduction, and background contextual materials.
