Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Study of the Middle-English Poem Known as the Northern Passion and Its Relation to the Cycle Plays: A Dissertation The French poem chosen as the basis of the N orthern Passion was well suited to purposes of entertainment and instruction the narrative was brief and not overloaded with homiletical passages, and the legendary matter copious enough to relieve the soberness of. The Biblical narrative, though not so grotesque as to shock by its extravagance. Nevertheless, the French poem was not thought by the English author to be beyond improvement he rearranged the narrative, omitted some extra-biblical incidents, and added several new traditions which had sprung into popularity during the hundred years since the composition of the French poem. It is not easy to discover the principle which governed the translator in making these changes. Obviously he was not actuated by a desire to conform to the canonical Scriptures, for though some legendary details are omitted, others are introduced; and while parts of the narrative are rearranged in accordance with the customary order of events, others are rewritten in a form which is even further from the Gospels than is the French poem. One fact, however, is clear, namely, that the author treated his material more and more freely as he advanced in his work the opening portion of the N orthem Passion may fairly be called a translation of the French Passion the second half is an adaptation. Yet throughout the author preserved in his rendering the popular characteristics of the original poem, so that the highly coloured narrative, for the most part unadorned by homily, enforces its lesson by example rather than by precept.

Download or read book The York Corpus Christi Plays written by Clifford Davidson and published by Medieval Institute Publications. This book was released on 2011-10-01 with total page 616 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The feast of Corpus Christi, celebrated annually on Thursday after Trinity Sunday, was devoted to the Eucharist, and the normal practice was to have solemn processions through the city with the Host, the consecrated wafer that was believed to have been transformed into the true body and blood of Jesus. In this way the "cultus Dei" thus celebrated allowed the people to venerate the Eucharistic bread in order that they might be stimulated to devotion and brought symbolically, even mystically into a relationship with the central moments of salvation history. Perhaps it is logical, therefore, that pageants and plays were introduced in order to access yet another way of visualizing and participating in those events. Thus the "invisible things" of the divine order "from the creation of the world" might be displayed. The York Corpus Christi Plays, contained in London, British Library, MS. Add. 35290 and comprising more than thirteen thousand lines of verse, actually represent a unique survival of medieval theater. They form the only complete play cycle verifiably associated with the feast of Corpus Christi that is extant and was performed at a specific location in England.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robin Hood is one of the most enduring and well-known figures of English folklore. Yet who was he really? In this intriguing book, Lesley Coote reexamines the early tales about Robin in light of the stories, both English and French, that have grown up around them—stories with which they shared many elements of form and meaning. In the process, she returns to questions such as where did Robin come from, and what did these stories mean? The Robin who reveals himself is as spiritual as he is secular, and as much an insider as he is an outlaw. And in the context of current debates about national identity and Britain’s relationship with the wider world, Robin emerges to be as European as he is English—or perhaps, as Coote suggests, that is precisely the quality which made him fundamentally English all along.
