Dear James

There is a good one on pp xix--xxi in the Cambridge Companion to Medieval English Theatre, ed. Richard Beadle and Alan J Fletcher, 2nd edn. As regards fixing the date of the Towneley plays, however, you might consider just putting the text on the end of a long piece of elastic and bouncing it up and down for the students (works just as well virtually).

Best wishes

John

Hi all,

While I'm sure there would be some contentious entries, does anyone have a handy timeline list they can point me to of extant play texts from England up to ~1535? (i.e. I'd include the Norwich Grocer's Play) or similar?

This is just for a slide for an undergraduate introduction, but I want to make sure I'm not missing anything. 

Many thanks,

James
