It charts conflicts staged between dramatic personae in plays that represent theological transitions, including the Incarnation, Flood, Nativity and Bethlehem slaughter. Interrogating the Christian preoccupation with what it asserted was a superseded Jewish past, it asks how models of supersession and typology are subverted when placed in dramatic dialogue with characters who experience time differently. The book employs theories of gender, performance, anti-Semitism, queer theory and periodisation to complicate readings of early theatre's biblical matriarchs and patriarchs. Dealing with frequently taught plays as well as less familiar material, the book is essential reading for specialist, undergraduate and postgraduate researchers working on medieval performance, gender and queer studies, Jewish-Christian studies and time. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 207-228) and index. 505 00 $g 5. $g 1. $t Conclusion: the spectator's God's-eye view. $g 2. $t Grave new world: fantasies of supersession and explosive questions in the York and Chester Flood plays -- $g 3. $t Time out of joint: queering the Nativity in the Towneley Second Shepherds' Play -- $g 4. $t Passion meets Passover: temporal origami in the Towneley Herod the Great -- $g 5. $t Conclusion: the spectator's God's-eye view. 650 0 $a Christian drama, English (Middle) $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Antisemitism in literature. 650 0 $a Sex in literature. 650 0 $a Bible plays $x History and criticism. 650 7 $a Bible plays. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00831249 650 7 $a Antisemitism in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00810783 650 7 $a Christian drama, English (Middle) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00858990 650 7 $a Sex in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01114464 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a Literary criticism. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Drama. $2 lcgft 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781526146854 830 0 $a Manchester medieval literature and culture ; $v 36. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117030905.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1DF7E84478F711ECAF30597D2FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
