Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Drama: Its History, Literature and Influence on Civilization After a time, as has already been shown, these or similar miracle-plays were performed outside of the churches, in the streets of towns or in the fields, at fairs or places of public resort. The actors were priests or monks, and the performance was still religious, includ ing legends of the saints, as well as Scripture histories. At times, perhaps, a touch of nature was added to gratify the rabble who ocked to the show. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
