Approaching individual plays in the Chester cycle from the point of view of recent and startling research findings, this volume investigates how new sources shift our understanding of the last years of cycle''s performance. The essays help to clarify our current perception that it was not a nation-wide policy of suppression, but rather a complex network of local pressures, that affected the decline and eventual abandonment of civic religious drama.
The Chester Cycle in Context, 1555-1575 considers the implications of recent archival research which has profoundly changed our view of the continuation of performances of Chester''s civic biblical play cycle into the reign of Elizabeth I. Scholars now view the decline and ultimate abandonment of civic religious drama as the result of a complex network of local pressures, heavily dependent upon individual civic and ecclesiastical authorities, rather than a result of a nation-wide policy of suppression, as had previously been assumed.
