Explores medieval drama and performance across European languages and traditions, from theatrical works to rituals and folk practices. Includes scholarly updates, book reviews, and field news for researchers of medieval theatre.




European Medieval Drama is an international project which seeks to promote the study of medieval drama and performance. It explores medieval drama in all European languages and traditions. Drama and performance is widely interpreted to include subjects such as processions, dances, folk traditions, (semi-)theatrical and ritual events, and tournaments. The journal also includes notices relevant to members of the Société Internationale pour l’étude du théâtre médiéval, and information of interest to all scholars in the field of medieval drama (e.g. recently published books, forthcoming conferences, and book reviews).
