Description

This volume offers 22 of the central pageants which make up York's famous
Corpus Christi cycle. The York cycle is the oldest and best-known of the
English mystery cycles, and its depth and scope are reflected in the
selection printed here. The shape of the cycle was governed by
subjectmatter of enduring spiritual significance, both to its contemporary
audience and in later literary and artistic tradition, and the selection
reflects these concerns. Included are plays on the Creation, the Fall of
Man, the Incarnation, Passion, and Resurrection of Christ, and the Last
Judgement.The Passion sequence has been expanded by six of the eight plays
generally attributed to the great poetic dramatist known as the York
Realist: the authentic text of these plays is not otherwise available in
paperback. As well as providing detailed annotation, this edition offers an
introductionwhich examines the history of the cycle and discusses the
immensely popular modern productions in York and elsewhere.
