Description
In addition to providing new readings of three anonymous morality plays differing in design and texture, Kelley s book gives an overview of the fifteenth-century flamboyant art form, that strange mixture of artistry, moral theology, bawdy irreverence, physical action, and sermonic eloquence, which succeeded the mystery plays at the end of the medieval period. As John Gardner notes in his Foreword, Kelley has done for the morality plays what earlier scholars did for the mysteries: He has pointed out their controlling aesthetic and shown why, in their time and place, they were a joy to see and hear.
