Material Culture And Medieval Drama, Clifford Davidson

Clifford Davidson

The contributions by distinguished American and British scholars to this volume recognize that early drama depended on specific developments in material culture in order to achieve its effects, which included both visual and auditory means of appealing to audiences. The discussions range from the parchment and paper on which the plays were written to the instruments which enhanced their production. Of special interest is Mary Remnant’s survey of musical instruments available to producers; she is the recognized expert on medieval English instruments.

The Worlde And The Chylde, Clifford Davidson, Peter Happé

Clifford Davidson

The Worlde and the Chylde, issued by the press of Wynkyn de Worde in 1521, is one of the very earliest plays published in England. It also has very considerable interest for its adaptation of the Ages of Man iconography, which is extensively treated in the introduction, notes, and illustrations.
