Abstract
The descensus ad inferos (descent into hell), one of the key scenes in vernacular Easter Plays, is well suited to exemplify Rainer Warning’s controversial thesis that Easter Plays are a ‘Remythisierung der Heilsgeschichte’ (remythologizing of Salvation history). This article examines, systematically, the analytical consistency of this thesis. At first, it reconstructs Warning’s terminology, and then it revises the same terminology on the basis of descent scenes in selected German plays (Easter Plays of Muri, Innsbruck, Osnabruck, and Redentin).
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.
