Character Treatment in the Mediaeval Drama

By Timothy J Crowley and Timothy J Crowley

Book Overview

""Character Treatment in the Mediaeval Drama"" is a book written by Timothy J. Crowley and published in 1907. The book is a study of the portrayal of characters in mediaeval drama, focusing on the use of language, gesture, and costume to convey meaning and create dramatic effect. Crowley examines a wide range of mediaeval plays, from mystery plays and morality plays to romances and folk dramas, and explores the ways in which different types of characters are represented on stage. He also considers the influence of religious and social contexts on the portrayal of characters, and the ways in which mediaeval drama reflects and shapes cultural attitudes and values. The book is a valuable resource for scholars and students of mediaeval literature, theatre history, and cultural studies.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
