Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Old Wakefield Theatre Out by the Greeks and Phoenicians. It hardly accounts for Knaresborough, but it shows, of course, a certain amount of research on the part of the historian. But as I cannot lay claim to the name, I have no right to appro priate the method. There is, however, in this case the excuse that the mystery plays of the later middle ages really were here actually presented upon the very ground we of Wake field tread; and, as it was in the form of plays for the playhouse that its crowning glory was added to English literature, for a town to have been associated even with the crude beginnings of our drama is surely some thing to be remembered. And it may be that the reminder of this ancient local connection will add a little pleasant antiquarian colouring to the love with which the present inhabitants of Wakefield (some of them) regard an art still exhibited in their midst - an art, indeed.
