Synopsis
Excerpt from English Nativity Plays: Edited With Introduction, Notes, and Glossary
There has hitherto been but little intensive and minute study of the English mystery plays. The texts of some of them have been well edited, and their gen eral aspects and problems have been described by such men as Chambers and Cayley, in books which combine, in a delightful manner, deep scholarship and true art; but the field is so large that in general studies there is neither time nor space for the discussion of minor problems. It is indisputable that the work of Cham bers and Cayley is more important and significant than the minute study of sources, authorship, and the like; yet the latter, particularly in these plays, has an im portant place.
