To Naomi Liebler--
Thanks for the wonderful invitation to push my own book! It's called EARLY
ENGLISH DRAMA: AN ANTHOLOGY, and it was just published in March by
Garland, simultaneously in hardback and paper ($18.95 for the paperback, I
think). I've included the table of contents below, and you should note
that I have rounded up the usual suspects--the most often taught pageants from
the cycle plays--and put them in an appendix, while devoting most of the
pages to non-cycle plays, including moralities and saint plays and the
bizarre miracle Play of the Sacrament, plus a good number of play
fragments like Dux Moraud, with its odd themes of incest, matricide and
infanticide. There are seventeen or eighteen plays altogether, in just
under four hundred pages.
All the plays are presented in Middle English, with somewhat
regularized spelling. Words are amply glossed in the margins and lines
annotated at the bottom of the page. It should be as accessible to
students as Cawley's Everyman and Medieval Miracle Plays, but with a wider
and (I think) more interesting selection of texts. Each play has a short
introduction covering mss. info., versification, salient features of the
text, and references to standard scholarly editions. There is a
select bibliography at the end.
Use it--and let me know what you'd like to see in a second edition.
Cheers,
John Coldewey

Subject: Robin and Marion
Does anyone know if any of the illuminations of _Le jeu de Robin et de
Marion_ (Bibl. Mejanes, ms. A) have ever been reproduced. I'd be interested
in showing them to students this semester, if possible.
