Abstract | This is the second of two sessions in honour of David Mills in which Elsa Strietman investigates the relationship between biblical plays from the Low Countries and English plays of the same period against the background of Catholic and Protestant influences. Philip Butterworth investigates the use of cueing conventions as determined by 'parts' and 'parcels' and their implications for performance. Meg Twycross develops her recent in-depth research into the civic documents at York and re-examines events of Corpus Christi Day in York, as seen through the eyes of the officials in charge of administering and recording them. |
