EARLY THEATRE 6.1 will be mailed out to subscribers in June. This issue is part one of a two-part collection on 'Performance, Politics, and Culture in the South-west of Britain, 1350-1642.' The collection was inspired by a series of REED conference sessions at the Leeds International Medieval Congress celebrating the publication of the last of the South-west REED volumes. Essays included in ET 6.1 offer a broad chronological and topical spectrum (from the earliest West Country Corpus Christi records to seventeenth-century civic performance) along with geographical scope, including the counties of Wiltshire, Dorset, Somerset, Devon, and Cornwall.
