- Title
Censorship and the Representation of the Sacred in Nineteenth-Century England.
- Authors
Hilliard, Christopher
- Abstract
Schramm traces the mystery plays' rehabilitation as art to the dramatist and scholar Henry Hart Milman, who defended their mixture of the sacred and profane as part of the process of vernacularization. Schramm also seeks to identify formal echoes of Catholic ritual and dramatic conventions in other genres, especially the novel. At the center of Schramm's book is the recovery of actual pre-Reformation plays - the Chester, Coventry, and Wakefield/Towneley cycles of mystery plays.
