The Digby Play of Mary Magdalene: A Broadview Anthology of British Literature Edition

Few medieval plays in English have attracted as much twenty—first—century interest as the Digby Mary Magdalene, an early—fifteenth—century drama that, as Chester Scoville puts it, is “probably the most spectacular of the late medieval English plays.” This new edition presents a modernized text of the play, with extensive annotation (both marginal glosses and explanatory footnotes), an insightful introduction, and a helpful selection of background contextual materials.
