This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1916 edition. Excerpt: ... chroniclers was to select such hideously realistic beings as have been alluded to, their fictional vehicle would be a variety of realistic narrative. Its relation to heroico-historical romance, however, precludes this classification. Moreover, one "creation" of the scandalous chroniclers was wildly unreal-- that animal, supernatural being, or inanimate object referred to in my definition of this genre. His origin is difficult to ascertain. One thinks of the Golden ass. But, declares Miss Morgan (Novel of manners, 9), "As a whole, or as a prose narrative, the Ass of Apuleius was not imitated until the end of the [eighteenth] century, when it furnished a model for travels of inanimate objects, and encouraged the use of fictitious travels for satirical purposes."

Possibly it is first advanced in the Dialogues of the chimneys prefixed to the Diable boiteux (1707); Chimney C observes to Chimney D: "This is the advantage we chimneys enjoy; we are witnesses to a thousand sights that men would pay any price for seeing."

Excerpt from The Liturgical Element in the Earliest, Forms of the Medieval Drama: With Special Reference to the English and German Plays Considering the attractiveness of the subject, it is not surprising to find that a great many investigators in the field of the early drama have turned their attention to the Latin and early vernacular plays and have drawn conclusions of various kinds in regard to their sources and develop ment. For the purpose of a brief but comprehensive survey of the entire field of the early medieval drama, the various writers may be divided into four groups, with the understanding, however, that the groups are not sharply defined, but to some extent overlap each other.

Emphasis on the English & German plays. Argues that the stock plays of the early medieval age, which are concerned with Biblical or Apocryphal subjects, all contain in more or less pronounced degree the liturgical element.
