Description

Medieval and Renaissance Drama in England is an annual volume committed to the publication of essays and reviews related to English drama and theatre history to 1642. An internationally recognized board of scholars oversees the publication of MaRDiE. Readers who wish to deepen their understanding of early drama will find that the journal publishes wide-ranging discussions not only of plays and early performance history, but of topics relating to cultural history, as well as manuscript studies and the history of printing.
