Item description from seller

Scarce paperback, 207 pages, NOT ex-library. Book looks unread, minor cosmetic handling wear. Clean and bright throughout with unmarked text and firm binding, free of inscriptions and stamps. -- "The Voice of God, the Voice of Man: Religious Discourse in Late Medieval English Drama" is a literary study of selected Middle English mystery and morality plays in the context of the relationship between God and man, essential to a better understanding of medieval culture. Analyzed in dramatic speeches, the artistic interpretations of the relationship not only serve as a mirror of late medieval spirituality, but also reveal the playwrights' major aesthetic awareness, repeatedly surpassing the stereotype of medieval drama as "a pulpit for the illiterate". Indeed, the dramatic texts in question unite various artistic and didactic techniques in a manner which still makes them fascinating to a present-day student. Contents: Acknowledgements; Abbreviations; Chapter 1, "Here Beginneth a Treatise:" Preliminary Considerations; Chapter 2, "Ilka Creatoure Take Tente What Bodworde I Shall You Bryng:" Divine Discourse in 'The Wakefield Play'; Chapter 3, "Holy Lorde, We Wurchepp Be!" Prayer in 'The N-Town Play'; Chapter 4, "We Be Their Sheep, and They Shepherds Be:" 'Preacherly' Discourse in the Morality Play; Chapter 5, "Thus Endeth This Play:" Conclusion; Bibliography. …
