Dear friends, We have been off-line for several weeks undergoing a mechanical facelift: my computer now has a Rolls-Royce engine in the body of a Model-A. Very pleasant, except that it's taken a bit of coaxing to get my communications back on-line! During that time the following message was sent into PERFORM but received no replies, due no doubt to an animated discussion of the sacrifice of Isaac and Abraham and Isaac plays which was going on at the same time. If you have any insights on wedding interludes, please send them in and I'll collect them together and cross post them to PERFORM. The Toronto Centre for Medieval Studies Conference this year is, as many of you probably know, about aspects of performance. It will take place next weekend. I know that a number of REED-y people will be present and I hope to coax a conference report out of some of them. Yours, Abigail ************************************************************* Forwarded message: > From @vm.utcs.utoronto.ca:[log in to unmask] Tue Jan 26 14:19:52 1993 > Message-Id: <[log in to unmask]> > Date: Tue, 26 Jan 1993 10:13:42 -0500 > Reply-To: PERFORM - Medieval Performing Arts <[log in to unmask]> > Sender: PERFORM - Medieval Performing Arts <[log in to unmask]> > From: [log in to unmask] > Subject: wedding interludes > To: Multiple recipients of list PERFORM <[log in to unmask]> > > I am interested in historical information or bibliographical leads on the > genesis and development of a sub-species of interlude that was included as > part of the wedding festivities in England.
