Everyman and Medieval Miracle Plays

This book is part of the “Everyman” series which has been re-set with wide margins and easy-to-read type and includes marginal glosses and footnotes to explain difficult words and phraseology. Concentrating mainly on “Corpus Christi” pageants, this is a selection of medieval miracle plays. There is also a translation of the Cornish “Death of Pilate” to represent this branch of Celtic literature. The original words of the plays are preserved, but many archaic forms and spellings are modernized for general readers.
