Originally published in 1965. The European dramatic tradition rests on a group of religious dramas that appeared between the tenth and twelfth centuries. These dramas, of interest in themselves, are also important for the light they shed on three historical and critical problems: the relation of drama to ritual, the nature of dramatic form, and the development of representational techniques. Hardison's approach is based on the history of the Christian liturgy, on critical theories concerning the kinship of ritual and drama, and on close analysis of the chronology and content of the texts themselves. Beginning with liturgical commentaries of the ninth century, Hardison shows that writers of the period consciously interpreted the Mass and cycle of the church year in dramatic terms. By reconstructing the services themselves, he shows that they had an emphatic dramatic structure that reached its climax with the celebration of the Resurrection. Turning to the history of the Latin Resurrection play, Hardison suggests that the famous Quem quaeritis—the earliest of all medieval dramas—is best understood in relation to the baptismal rites of the Easter Vigil service. He sets forth a theory of the original form and function of the play based on the content of the earliest manuscripts as well as on vestigial ceremonial elements that survive in the later ones. Three texts from the eleventh and twelfth centuries are analyzed with emphasis on the change from ritual to representational modes. Hardison discusses why the form inherited from ritual remained unchanged, while the technique became increasingly representational. In studying the earliest vernacular dramas, Hardison examines the use of nonritual materials as sources of dramatic form, the influence of representational concepts of space and time on staging, and the development of nonceremonial techniques for composition of dialogue. The sudden appearance of these elements in vernacular drama suggests the existence of a hitherto unsuspected vernacular tradition considerably older than the earliest surviving vernacular plays.

Drama and Reading for Meaning Ages 4-11 contains over 40 creative drama ideas to help develop reading for meaning in the primary school. The wide range of clearly explained, structured and engaging drama activities will appeal to all primary practitioners who wish to develop more creative approaches to the teaching of reading. The activities show how drama can develop some of the skills associated with reading for meaning such as empathising with characters’ feelings, exploring settings and themes and making inferences based on evidence. The step-by-step activities range from familiar classroom drama strategies such as freeze-frames and hot-seating to less well-known approaches involving whole class drama experiences. The book also serves as an introduction to using drama as a learning medium, with advice on how to set the ground rules and clear explanations of the drama strategies. Each chapter has a detailed explanation of what to do, followed by a number of examples linked to quality texts, including poetry and non-fiction. From bringing books to life in reception and Years 1 and 2, to peeling back the layers of meanings in Years 3 to 6, all the drama activities in this book are designed to improve reading for meaning and help motivate children to read for pleasure, making this an essential resource for all primary settings.

Excerpt from The Drama of the Ages It was in the days of Eber that the curtain first rises upon the Drama of the Ages; it was the first of a series of crises in the history of nations. As yet there were no nations, states, nor empires; the world was an infant; the land of Shinar its cradle - Let not the student of history vainly wonder when the protoplasmic chits began first to wiggle; nor how long it would take them to become intelligent enough to build the Sphinx and the Pyramids; for Egypt had not yet been born; there were no Greeks nor Romans; no foot of man had penetrated the Steppe country; no voice of man had broken the stillness of China, Hindostan or Korea; no eye of man had looked upon Mt. Fuji Yama no human lips had formed the word Ameri ca; there were no Indians anywhere; the Islands of the sea awaited the coming of man. In the days of Eber still lived the fathers of our race; from them have come all the nations and people that are on the earth; the tenth chapter of the book of Genesis gives the origin of nations; and there is no other. Eber had a son whom he named Peleg, for in his days was the earth divided And all the earth was of one lan guage and of one speech, and it was the design of God that the people should scatter out and fill the earth; but there were some who said let us build us a city and a tower -and let us make us a name, lest the people be scattered abroad upon the face of the earth. This was the plan the meaning of which was nothing short of an organized attempt to establish a centralized power, a one man power making one man absolute monarch of all. This plan met with a protest in demonstration of the great power Of God by which was the origin Of languages and of nations. Nimrod was the leader of this conquest for wide spread dominion and a one man power. To this movement Eber was an able opponent. Nimrod taught the people in public and in private that a monarchy is the only safe and natural form of government; but Eber taught that monarchal form of government would spell slavery, degradation, ignorance, squalor, superstition and murder; and that they would hold their liberty and their lands by the Slippery tenure of the will of the prince. He said that liberty is the gift of God, and that all are the com mon children of the Creator; that the earth with all its wealth and beauty is free to all; that the kind of rule pro posed by Nimrod is contrary to the divine order, and that should it prevail, their posterity would read the history of the world written in the blood of countless millions.

Spain's Golden Age, the seventeenth century, left the world one great legacy, the flower of its dramatic genius -- the comedia. The work of the Golden Age playwrights represents the largest combined body of dramatic literature from a single historical period, comparable in magnitude to classical tragedy and comedy, to Elizabethan drama, and to French neoclassical theater. A History of Spanish Golden Age Drama is the first up-to-date survey of the history of the comedia, with special emphasis on critical approaches developed during the past ten years. A history of the comedia necessarily focuses on the work of Lope de Vega and Calderon de la Barca, but Ziomek also gives full credit to the host of lesser dramatists who followed in the paths blazed by Lope and Calderon, and whose individual contributions to particular genres added to the richness of Spanish theater. He also examines the profound influence of the comedia on the literature of other cultures.
