Medieval and Renaissance Drama in England is an international volume published annually. Each volume contains studies by literary critics and cultural historians from both hemispheres, as well as substantial reviews, notes, and documentary studies. The journal was founded in 1984 and since then well over five hundred articles, review essays, and book reviews have appeared on its pages. The topics addressed have ranged from local drama in the Shrewsbury borough records to issues of staging in the Elizabethan playhouses to authorship studies of John Webster. The journal is committed to the publication of a wide range of views and approaches, as well as to an equally wide exploration of early drama and its contexts prior to 1642.
