Book Description
Excerpt from A Rosary of Mystery Plays: Fifteen Plays Selected From the York Cycle of Mysteries Performed by the Crafts on the Day of Corpus Christi in the 14th, and 16th Centuries, Translated From the Middle The complete cycle of forty-eight plays was first printed in 1885. The work of arranging and editing from the old manuscripts was done by Miss Lucy Toulmin Smith in an admirable manner, and the Oxford University Press published it in a beautiful single volume edition. The plays chosen to illustrate the devotion of the Rosary are arranged in three parts: I. The Five Joyful Mysteries. II. The Five Sorrowful Mysteries. III. The Five Glorious Mysteries. The artistic unity of this series will be readily seen and it is further enhanced by copies of paintings by famous artists, one picture for each play. This book is the outcome of study, followed by the desire of the translator to give to others a portion of the buried treasure of the medieval drama, seldom sought in our day, on account of the difficulties pre sented by the language of the period of their production. These plays carry with them an atmosphere of religious fervor and devotion found only in works inspired by the gospel stories of our Saviour's life and teaching. They may be read with profit not only as a part of the religious literature of the Middle Ages, but also by Catholics and Protestants alike, as an inspiration to greater devotion, and more sincere and earnest zeal in the service of Him in whose Holy Name we place the h0pe of our eternal salvation.

The Mystery Play in Madame Bovary: Moeurs de province
Author: Peter RogersPublisher: BRILL
ISBN: 904202707X
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 193
Book Description
Drawing upon Flaubert’s fictional works, travel writings, correspondence, and notes on his reading of the Bible and interest in iconography, Rogers traces the presence of a liturgical drama, a mystery play, in a text known as iconic of the realist novel. Showing how Flaubert’s use of religious tales, topoi, and imagery extends beyond his retelling of saints’ lives in the Tentation de Saint Antoine and the Trois contes, this study elucidates the biblical and devotional subcurrent in the story of Emma Bovary. Biblical episodes, religious emblems, and discussions of Catholic dogma link the adulterous heroine to the Virgin Mary, who emerges in the course of this subtle reading as the other heroine of the scandalous story. The 19th-century impulse to censor is embodied within the novel by two characters representing the secular and religious poles. The free-thinking pharmacist Homais and the parish priest concur only on the dangers of reading the Bible. When the novel itself was brought to trial for attacking religion, Flaubert’s prosecutor and defense lawyer overlooked this condemnation of scripture. This study invites readers to pay close attention to the religious texts and traditions discussed and restaged in Madame Bovary to gain a new awareness of the narrow bond between theatre and religion in Flaubert’s provinces.
