Description

Book Synopsis
The Mary Play is a beautiful and engaging piece of late medieval stagecraft. This edition, a new volume in the series Exeter Medieval Texts and Studies, presents the play as a single entity rather than as a number of pageants in a cycle play.

Trade Review
Peter Meredith argues for the existence of a separate Mary Play within the N-town cycle and presents it here together with extensive and valuable commentary. * Medium Ævum, vol. LXVII *
