Their focus is on English, Dutch and Humanist German drama, as well as on a modern Swiss adaptation of Shakespeare’s Henry V. Featuring prominently in this book are plays by, among others, John Bale, Jacob Schoepper, Johannes Agricola and Jacob Duym. Special attention is also paid to the Croxton Play of the Sacrament and the Dutch abele spelen.   So far this topic has not received wide attention within the world of medieval and early Renaissance studies. This exploration aims at arousing more interest in this field by scholars working on European drama from the late Middle Ages and the early Renaissance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNotes on Contributors    Introduction    Peter Happé and Wim Hüsken    1 From Mrs Noah’s “Rok” to Absalom’s “Kultour”   The Trail of the Spinning Woman and the Great Rising of 1381    Heather Hill    2 Laying with the Past   History in the Croxton Play of the Sacrament and King Johan    Thomas Betteridge    3 Historical Elements in Bale’s Plays    Peter Happé    4 History in the Long Shadow of Allegory   Revisiting the Morality Heritag    Richard Hillman    5 Mirror, Mirror on the Wall … History in Late Medieval Drama from the Low Countries    Wim Hüsken    6 “An Easy Commerce of the Old and New”   Rhetoricians and the Use of the Past    Elsa Strietman    7 Staging Reformation as History – Three Exemplary Cases   Agricola, Hartmann, Kielmann    Cora Dietl    8 Dramatising History in Schoepper’s Ioannes Decollatus and Grimald’s Archipropheta    Mike Pincombe    9 Helvetic Henry?
