-- [ From: Andrzej Dabrowka * EMC.Ver #2.5.02 ] -- > From: Konrad Eisenbichler > everything published on the Middle Ages and the Renaissance from 1700 to today Do you mean everything, or everything English? THERE is a Belgian (Flemish) journal "Jaarboek De Fonteine" (published at the univ. of Ghent from 1943 on) devoted to the study of the late medieval drama and theatre of the Netherlands, mostly of the rhethoricians (rederijkers - XV-XVI c.). Important general reviews in vol. III, V, XVIII). Most research however has been published in general journals on literary history. In finding drama topics (except general bibliographies) the lots of monographs will be useful. Some examples: W.M.H. Hummelen, _Repertorium van het rederijkersdrama 1500-ca 1620_ (1968) - an extensive description of about 600 plays. Additions in: H. van Dijk et al.., A survey of dutch drama before the renaissance [in:] "Dutch Crossing" (1984). For the interludes (tafelspel) see Mrs P. Pikhaus' _Het tafelspel bij de rederijkers_ (1988-89, 2 vols.). P.van Duyse, De rederijkkamers in Nederland, 1900; J.J. Mak, De rederijkers, 1944; As for Poland (my native country) no written medieval drama is known (you can say, it was forbidden here - by pope Innocent III: Interdum ludi theatrales - before it was invented!); but there are later traditions of medieval genres. Still, some valuable research has been done here, to mention only the late Prof. H. Lewicka's study of ter French farce. In the international but Poland-based journal "Zagadnienia rodzajow literackich / Problemes des genres litteraires" founded 1956, you can find a division called _MateriaLy do SLownika rodzajOw literackich_ (Materials for a dictionary of literary genres); in the most issues there are dozens of lemma's concerning drama, with bibliography; I think it is the most extensive dictionary of genres in drama.
