Chester Art: A Subject List of Extant and Lost Art Including Items Relevant to Early Drama

This book will serve as an invaluable research tool for students and scholars with an interest in art relating to early drama, as well as those whose interests lie more in local art history, specifically that of Chester. Though it may not contain the bumper-crop of surviving subject-art as a city such as York possesses, Chester nevertheless holds much of value and interest, as the list in this book aptly demonstrates. Richly illustrated and carefully arranged, this book is a tremendous catalog of surviving subject-art and will reward any scholar who pulls it from the bookshelf.

De Ore Domini: Preacher and Word in the Middle Ages (Studies in Medieval Culture)

This volume grew out of sessions on medieval preaching and sermons at the International Congress on Medieval Studies. Consisting of thirteen essays, each a chapter in the history of preaching, it presents a diverse selection of historical periods, methodologies, and audiences. It covers a broad timeframe, the 700s to 1511, and includes work on figures ranging from Bede to Ramon Llull. This book serves to suggest a solution to the lack of a general history of medieval preaching: that perhaps the next great history will be written by a team of scholars with diverse specialties. This volume serves as a step towards that lofty goal.

Shakespeare's Play Within Play: Medieval Imagery and Scenic Form in Hamlet, Othello, and King Lear (Early Drama, Art, and Music Monograph Series, 12)

In his foreward to the volume, Clifford Davidson praises Guilfoyle's application of the concept of scenic form in her study of Hamlet, Othello, and King Lear, and her exposition of Shakespeare's historical consciousness, noting her sensitive examination of the shape of the playwright's scenes when placed against traditional visual configurations and related textual resonances. Any student of Shakespeare will benefit from the nuanced study of his imagery and how it helps to color his characters and the action in his plays.

Davidson, Audrey Ekdahl

Before he suddenly passed away, John W. Robinson was working on a manuscript that he saw as effecting a marriage between the dramatic and the theatrical, as he felt there was too large a divide between literary scholars and practitioners of the theater. In it, Robinson stated that his purpose it to expound as plays the New Testament plays of the Wakefield Master and some of the related York plays, including two by the York Realist. . . . hop[ing] to show that the meaning and effect of the Wakefield Master's and York Realist's plays will not appear unless they are approached with the understanding that they were performed, with some idea of how they were performed, and with some appreciation of what they meant to a medieval audience. That manuscript is presented here, a close study of eight plays and the elements Robinson considers essential to performance: playwright, sponsors, location, plot, script, players, and audience.
