York Guilds And The Corpus Christi Plays: Unwilling Participants?, Clifford Davidson Dec 2005

York Guilds And The Corpus Christi Plays: Unwilling Participants?, Clifford Davidson

Clifford Davidson

Maud Sellers, in 1912, introduced the notion that the York guilds which produced the civic Corpus Christi plays found them to be ‘an intolerable and vexatious burden.’ The idea has persisted. However, the picture of guild support for the plays is complex, especially during the period of economic and civic decline which in fact impoverished some guilds and left others with a membership deficit due to the inability to maintain their numbers.

The Coventry Corpus Christi Plays, Clifford Davidson, Pamela King Dec 1999

The Coventry Corpus Christi Plays, Clifford Davidson, Pamela King

Clifford Davidson

One of the greatest medieval drama cycles in England was mounted annually at Coventry at Corpus Christi until suppressed in 1579, and is of particular importance because it was almost certainly seen by William Shakespeare when he was a boy in nearby Stratford-upon-Avon. The two extant pageants from this cycle have been re-edited and are presented here for the first time in a modern critical edition.
