Medieval and Renaissance Drama in England is an international volume published annually. Each volume contains essays and studies by critics and cultural historians from both hemispheres as well as substantial reviews of books and essays dealing with medieval and early modern English drama before 1642. Volume 18 reflects a variety of scholarly interests. These are presented in essays addressing the conditions of theatrical ownership and dramatic competition to those exploring stage movement and theatrical space. Another piece offers a new critical engagement with the Protestant context of George Peele's Old Wives Tale. Two further articles, concentrating on medieval drama, probe issues relating to maternal mourning in the Corpus Christi plays and the mapping of the world in the Digby Mary Magdalen. The collection opens with a symposium of three papers (revised for this volume) that were originally presented in a session on Christopher Marlowe that was aired at the Marlowe Society conference at Cambridge University in July 2003. S. P. Cerasano is the Edgar W. B. Fairchild Professor of Literature at Colgate University.
