- catalog abstract ""The author begins by defining what constitutes sinful or transgressive language in the later medieval period, and establishes its moral significance. She then illustrates how the moral significance of language is used in drama to define the spiritual and social status of characters, and introduces the concept of sinful language as a sign of spiritual change. In later chapters Transgressive Language in Medieval English Drama explores the use of 'bad' language in mystery and morality plays, focusing specifically on Skelton's Magnyfycence, Heywood's The Play of the Weather, and Bale's King Johan." "The study shows the extent to which the moral significance of language in drama shifted during the sixteenth century under pressure from cultural and political change, paving the way for less morally rigorous and more socially sensitive definitions of 'bad' language."--Jacket.".
