Foreword

Despite the persisting lack of a bibliography of medieval drama, great strides have been taken in advancing man’s knowledge in this rewarding area. If some of the most brilliant scholars of the past century or so were able to complete with distinction epoch-making volumes, it follows that each one must have worked up a bibliography for himself. How many thousands of hours were expended in this time-consuming labor, no man can say with any accuracy, but anyone can guess, as I do, that the thousands must be very many. Although one comes across mention of a bibliography or two published in the 1880’s, I have never seen one, and therefore, like everyone else whose interests include the medieval drama, I have for years carried about in my head an informal but inclusive list of the materials concerning the rebirth of the theater after its proscription during the decline of the Roman Empire.

When Father Stratman first asked me to examine his bibliography, I naturally checked first to see whether my favorites had been included. They had been included, and so many more besides that I perceived at once what a boon this indefatigable toiler had prepared to fill the long-felt want for a standard work of reference to join the goodly company already awaiting the student on library shelves.

Because a bibliographer is willing to lavish time and energy on the arduous task of collecting materials for students, the rest of us are saved great expenses of time, and we are furnished with a feeling of security, indispensable for efficient research.

No bibliography can be trusted completely, of course, but this one will become standard and will remain so for many years to come, I predict on the basis of the record glanced at above. If during the past three- score years the only contributions at all resembling bibliographies have been brief lists of books, how soon is this full-dress bibliography likely to be superseded?

Tolle et lege.

Acknowledgments

It is impossible to render due appreciation to all the persons who have encouraged me in this work, but I should like to thank most especially Professor John Webster Spargo, of Northwestern University, who not only wrote the Foreword for this book, but who has also been a constant source of inspiration to me throughout the work of compilation; he has offered many invaluable suggestions on procedure. A debt of deep gratitude is also owed to the Rev. Norman Weyand, S. J., Chairman of the Department of English at Loyola University, Chicago, who kindly consented to read the manuscript and suggested certain revisions. The late Professor Pierce Butler also read the manuscript and offered much good advice on method. Professor Emeritus Grace Frank, of Bryn Mawr College, has given valuable aid in the French section of the bibliography. I am also indebted to Professor Joseph E. Gillet, of the University of Pennsylvania, for his helpful advice and constructive criticism of the Spanish material. Mr. Joseph Gensert, of the German Department of Loyola University, graciously reviewed the Germanic material.

I also wish to thank, most sincerely, the many librarians who verified specific holdings in their libraries: Ben Bowman, of the Newberry Library; the Rev. Redmond A. Burke, C.S. V., of De Paul University; Dorothy Cox, of Loyola University; Flora L. Deibert, of the University of Pennsylvania; Georgia H. Faison, of the University of North Carolina; Florence M. Gifford, of the Cleveland Public Library; Lloyd W. Griffin, of Peabody Institute; Robert H. Haynes, of Harvard College; Katherine-Louise Henning, of the University of Wisconsin; James G. McManaway, of the Folger Library; Herman R. Mead, of the Huntington Library; Blanch Moon, of the University of Minnesota; T. E. Ratcliffe, Jr., of the University of Illinois; Paul North Rice, of the New York Public Library; Barbara D. Simison, of Yale University; Margaret Smith, of the University of Michigan; Constance M.

Introduction

For some years the need for a bibliography of medieval drama has become more and more obvious to those who have worked in the field. With the passage of time, and the continued publication of books and periodicals on various phases of medieval dramatic activity, the problem has become more acute, simply because there is no one work to which the scholar or student may go for the desired information. Such a lack of bibliographical data in a central storehouse is particularly harrowing for the student interested in medieval drama who does not know what work has already been completed by competent scholars. For the scholar the need is perhaps as great, for he has many occasions to refer to various works by others in the field.

Previous attempts at a bibliography have been either far too brief, limiting the entries to a few hundred titles, or far too limited in scope, treating of only one aspect of medieval drama. The only list of any practical value for the student today is that which appears in Wells’s Manual, and this, because of the many supplements, is somewhat difficult to use. In addition, this work is limited mainly to a consideration of only the miracles and mysteries. To date no attempt has been made to cover the entire field of medieval drama. There is no bibliography which includes not only the earliest liturgical works, the mystery and miracle plays, but also the moralities and interludes. Nor has any attempt been made to include in one book the foreign drama, and the many foreign works on English drama as well.

Although the present work does not pretend to be exhaustive in any sense of the term—the field is too vast—it is hoped that the bibliography will fulfill adequately the needs of the scholar or student who demands a handy tool in finding his way about in the somewhat complex field of medieval drama. An attempt has been made to cover the entire field of medieval drama, beginning with the earliest liturgical forms, and continuing through the mystery and miracle plays, to the moralities and interludes.

There has been no attempt to confine the work to a specific span of years so that the term medieval may apply absolutely. Some of the plays listed were written late in the sixteenth century, and several, indeed, were published in the opening years of the seventeenth century. In this bibliography, therefore, the term medieval applies to the following types of plays: liturgical, mystery, miracle, morality, and interlude. Formal comedies and tragedies, and the masque, are not included.

Finally, as to the scope of the work, the bibliography offers within one volume not only the general critical studies that have appeared in book and periodical form, but the individual plays by edition, and the critical studies of each play. The student and the scholar can thus note what work has already been completed in the field, as well as what remains to be accomplished. Indeed, this latter point may be one of the most valuable facets of the work.

Although this work is primarily for the scholar and student of English drama, due consideration is given to the medieval drama in France, Germany, Italy, and Spain, because of the many Continental influences. The sections reserved to Continental drama do not supplant work already done by competent scholars, but rather supplement and bring up to date previous efforts.

The compiler has been at some pains to make the use of this book as simple as possible, so that reference to any particular play or study may be made quickly and easily. The following pages on the method of procedure should be consulted before attempting to use the bibliography for a detailed study. In any bibliography, no matter how the compiler tries to follow standard procedures, certain modifications and changes are necessary. Occasionally more or less arbitrary policies of procedure have had to be set up in this bibliography of medieval drama

METHOD

Division of Work.—At best, any extensive bibliography is somewhat unwieldy, often, indeed, confusing in arrangement. In order to make this book useful and practicable, the bibliography is divided into twelve main divisions, with subdivisions for each section. The contents of both the main divisions and the subdivisions are indicated in the table of contents. Each of the general sections is treated in more or less the same manner; the books are listed, then the periodicals, and finally unpublished masters’ and doctoral dissertations. The listing in each case is alphabetical. The critical studies of a particular play, however, follow immediately after the editions of the play. These studies are in alphabetical order, according to the name of the author.

Entries. —For each entry the full name of the author, the complete title of the work, together with the place of publication and the publisher, the date, and major pagination is indicated. If the work is of sufficient importance, and contains a bibliography, the pages of the bibliography are noted.

Location of Books.—As an aid to the user of this work, almost every book entry is provided with a symbol to indicate in what library a copy of the book can be found. The system of symbols is that of the Union Catalog of the Library of Congress, and the code for these symbols appears on pages 5-14, at the beginning of the bibliography. In the main, the symbols are restricted to libraries in the United States and Canada; although for early editions of individual plays, symbols for libraries in England and Ireland are also given.

The aim has been to locate at least one copy of each book. Library symbols are given for about ninety per cent of the book entries.

Starring.—It has not been feasible to annotate a bibliography of this size and complexity, for the volume would have been several times its present girth. However, the more important items are starred. That is, those works that are recognized as authoritative or the most scholarly in any specific section are starred for the benefit of the scholar or student who wishes to consult references to any particular branch of medieval drama.

Symbols for Periodicals.—In order to save space, the full title of each periodical is not given each time it is indicated, instead a system of symbols is utilized. The symbol for a particular serial is based upon current usage; however, when none is available, the compiler has devised his own symbols. The code for these symbols will be found immediately following the code for the libraries, pages 15-21, at the beginning of this bibliography.

Subject-Indexing.—Articles that appear in books or special publications of various universities are in this work placed in the section on books.

Cross Reference. —Some books and periodicals in the bibliography fit into several categories, and are so listed. In such cases the entry is given in full: complete title of the work, place, publisher, and date of publication followed by the cross reference. Periodical entries are treated in the same way.

Stationers’ Register and Short Title Catalogue Numbers.—Although the entries in the Stationers’ Register can be found in other works which list morality plays, for example, the very valuable work by W. W. Greg, the entries have been included in this bibliography in order to make the work as complete as possible. For the same reason the Short Title Catalogue numbers for morality plays have been given.

Manuscripts.—The location of manuscripts for collections and individual works is indicated as far as possible. Each manuscript entry is numbered in the same manner as the entry for a book or periodical article.

Individual Plays. —The listing of cycle plays is according to the general collections, individual texts, general works on the subject, periodical articles, unpublished masters’ and doctoral dissertations. This same method is used, generally, for individual morality plays. Morality plays are listed alphabetically, so that quick reference can be made to any particular play. When the name of an author of a given work is known, it is entered in the proper alphabetical sequence, and a cross reference is given to the particular play or plays which he wrote. For each play all the editions, whether issued separately or in collections, are noted.

Hrotswitha.—There is no easily accessible bibliography of the writings of Hrotswitha, the Nun of Gandersheim, nor one which is up-to-date. Although this bibliography lists plays which were actually produced, and although there is no record of any of Hrotswitha’s plays appearing on a contemporary stage—if any existed—the very fact that plays were written in the tenth century seems sufficient reason for including her name in a special section in this bibliography. The entries for this section follow the same general pattern as used in the other sections: collections, individual plays, books of reference, periodical articles, and unpublished masters’ and doctoral dissertations.

Everyman.—Bibliographical entries concerning the play Everyman should properly be given with the morality drama; however, because of the great number of entries a separate section comprises the numerous editions and the critical material on this play.

Collections.—In this section are seventy-one anthologies of English plays. For each volume the title of the plays in the volume, or volumes, is listed. The list does not include, however, all the plays in the particular collection, but only those that fall in the category: liturgical, mystery, miracle, morality, or interlude.

Festschriften.—Some thirty-two volumes in this bibliography are dedicatory volumes. Each of these volumes has in it one or more articles on the medieval drama. For the sake of clarity, the books are placed together in one section, entitled Festschriften. In this section, each article in a particular volume is indicated, and there is an appropriate cross reference to indicate in what category of the bibliography the article will be found.

Book Reviews.—Whenever feasible the location is given for reviews of major works that have caused some controversy. These reviews, which number two hundred and thirty, are of books printed after 1900.

Unpublished Masters’ and Doctoral Dissertations.—Since it is often difficult to find unpublished dissertations, this bibliography lists more than two hundred valuable but unpublished masters’ and doctoral dissertations.

Continental Drama. —The entries for Continental drama are given, in general, in the same way as is to be found in the sections for English drama.

Appendix I. —The table in Appendix I is a handy reference guide to the plays which appear in Collections. The numbers in the columns indicate the entry number of the particular play in the section entitled Collections. To find in which collection, or collections, a play appears, all the reader need do is to consult Appendix I Opposite the name of the plays is a row of numbers in parallel columns. These numbers correspond to the numbers of a particular anthology in the section Collections.

Appendix II.—Although the libraries that possess files of serials or periodicals are listed in a work compiled some time ago, An Index to Serials, the libraries that have the periodicals used in this work are listed in Appendix II. This section should prove useful to scholars seeking a particular serial. Only those libraries that possess a complete file of a particular series are noted. When seventy-five or more libraries possess a complete file of a periodical, the location is not indicated.
