Corpus Christi Plays at York: A Context for Religious Drama - AMS Studies in the Middle Ages Clifford Davidson

Examines the role of visuality and piety in late medieval religious practices, the visual and aural ambience of the pageant route, and the motive of charity in presenting them-as well as the related procession-for Corpus Christi. A final chapter provides a fitting conclusion for the book by taking up the question of why and how bullying would have resonated with York citizens and onlookers.
