The past generation has been an extraordinarily active one in medieval drama scholarship; our appreciation of the range of medieval drama has been significantly broadened, and our understanding of certain medieval genres—most notably, biblical drama—has been fundamentally altered. The Broadview Anthology of British Literature has been widely praised for the degree to which it has taken this scholarship into account in its selection of and presentation of medieval plays.

Now Broadview launches a new anthology that takes those plays as its base while expanding very substantially beyond them to represent the full range of drama in English (and, where strong connections exist, in French, Latin, Cornish, and Welsh as well) through to 1576. In all, over forty plays are included. Each work has been fully annotated and is prefaced by a substantial introduction. In many cases the language is to some extent modernised in order to make the plays more accessible to readers today.

Christina M. Fitzgerald is Associate Professor of English Literature and Language at the University of Toledo. She is the author of The Drama of Masculinity and Medieval English Guild Culture (Palgrave Macmillan, 2007). John T. Sebastian is Associate Professor of Medieval Literature and Director of the Medieval Studies Program at Loyola University New Orleans. He is also the editor of The Croxton Play of the Sacrament (Medieval Institute Publications, 2012) and the author of articles on medieval drama and the poetry of John Lydgate.
