Abstract
A widespread group of performance texts in English whose subject-matter draws on the Bible and apocrypha, which have origins in the late fourteenth and early fifteenth centuries. Almost all surviving English biblical drama is demonstrably rooted in the place of its production, with cycles surviving from York, Chester, Wakefield, and N-Town (long misidentified as Coventry).
