Zusammenfassung:"English Drama is an outline, with detailed examinations of representative plays, of the growth of a native drama in England, up to the foundations of the Tudor stage. Due attention is given to the persistence of a histrionic tradition through the centuries of cultural confusion after the end of civilization as the Romans knew it; and the aim of the book is throughout to relate dramatic or subdramatic forms to their environments, and to show them not as pieces in a literary-historic museum, but as the productions of living minds. The continuities of tradition and culture are shown in a close linking of the "renaissance" drama with the "medieval" and a major purpose of the book is to throw light not merely on the remoteness of the mircacle, mystery and morality plays, but on the Shakespearian drama itself."
