Abstract
The symbol of the Holy Cross is pivotal to Christendom, and it is central to several medieval and early modern plays covering Constantine’s victory and the finding of the cross by Helena. In the period of Counter-Reformation, these subjects provide examples of Roman Catholic beliefs, referring to relics and miracles, and thus hold propagandistic potential. Their staging allows not only for an authoritative expression of denominational convictions, but also includes a model of government that may, by conveying an ideal of social order, even fulfil a disciplining and critical function. Two plays will serve to illustrate these intentions: Cysat’s Holy Cross Play and the Jesuit drama Constantinus Magnus.
期刊介绍：
European Medieval Drama (EMD) is an annual journal published by Brepols. It was launched in 1997 in association with the International Conferences on Medieval European Drama organised at the University of Camerino, Italy, by Sydney Higgins between 1996 and 1999. The first four volumes of European Medieval Drama (1997-2000) published the Acts of these conferences. This series of conferences was suspended for the foreseeable future in 1999. At the Tenth Triennial Colloquium of the Société Internationale pour l"étude du Théâtre Médiéval (SITM), held in Groningen, the Netherlands, in August 2001, it was proposed that EMD should be published in association with SITM. This proposal has now been approved by all interested parties, and comes into effect as of spring 2002.
