What is The Play Called Corpus Christi about?
Of the many books (chiefly transatlantic) on English medieval drama that have appeared since the war, this study by an American Rhodes Scholar is certainly the most readable and perhaps the most important. Curiously enough, no other investigator has attempted to define the unique artistic structure of the Chester, Towneley, and Coventry cycles, to discover what a heterogeneous medieval audience would have made of these plays as staged, or to indicate the complex religious inheritance on which the sophisticated dramatists drew in order to provoke a deeper response to the Christian theme ("The Times Literary Supplement").
