Bibliography

For bibliographical purposes the following works should be consulted: Stoddard, F. H., References for Students of Miracle-Plays and Mysteries, University of California Library Bulletin 1887, Berkeley (reviewed in Anglia, vol. XI, pp. 325 ff.); Greg, List of Plays; Chambers, E. K., vol. I, pp. xiii–xlii, for a list of works made use of in the book; vol. II, Appendix W, for a list of dramatic performances in England, topographically arranged; Appendix X for a catalogue of English dramatic texts.

For the general history of the medieval religious drama and its origins the reader is referred to Creizenach, Chambers and Klein; as well as to Mone, F. J., Schauspiele des Mittelalters, Karlsruhe, 1846; Sepet, M., Le Drame chrétien au Moyen Âge, Paris, 1878; Hase, K., Das geistliche Schauspiel des Mittelalters (Leipzig, 1858); E. tr. by Jackson, A. W., 1880; and to other works mentioned in the bibliographies contained in Chambers, in Schelling, and in Bates, K. L., The English Religious Drama, 1893. See also Smith, G. Gregory, The Transition Period (Periods of European Literature), 1903.

The liturgical drama and its evolution are discussed, more especially, by Gayley, u.i.; Sepet, M., Origines catholiques du Théâtre Moderne, Paris, 1901; Du Méril, Origines Latines du Théâtre Moderne, vol. I, Paris, 1849; and Ebert, A., Entwicklungsgeschichte der französ. Tragödie, Gotha, 1856. For the texts of the Quem quaeritis see Wright, T., Early Mysteries and other Latin Poems, 1838. Examples of the liturgical drama are included in Manly’sSpecimens, vol. I. Among other collections Coussemaker, E. de, Drames liturgiques du Moyen Âge, 1860, contains the music with the text. The liturgical plays of Hilarius have been edited by Champollion-Figeac, J. J., Hilarii Versus et Ludi, Paris, 1838; for accounts of these see Morley, H., vol. I, part 2, pp. 542 ff., and Ward, vol. I, pp. 37 ff. For an account of Anglo-Norman religious drama see Petit de Julleville, u.i.; as to the allegorical productions of Guillaume Herman and (?) Étienne Langton see La Rue, G. de, Essais historiques sur les Bardes et les Trouvères, vol. II, pp. 270–2 and vol. III, pp. 5–11, Caen, 1834; Archaeologia, vol. XIII, pp. 231–4, 1880; Klein, vol. IV, pp. 107–8.

The transition from the liturgical to the secular drama—from the Church to the guild—is described by Gayley, chap. VI. Cf. Leach, A. F., Some English Plays and Players, in Furnivall Miscellany, 1901, pp. 205–234, for the view that the miracle-plays did not originate in the monasteries, but were throughout (in England at all events), in the hands of the civic authorities and the craft guilds, assisted by the secular clergy.
