development which, so far as the information at present available goes,
does not seem to have permanently established itself either at Exeter or
elsewhere.
CHAPTER XXV
HUMANISM AND MEDIAEVALISM
[_Bibliographical Note._—The literary discussions and
collections of texts named in the bibliographical note to chap.
xxiii and the material on the annals of the stage in that to
chap. xxiv remain available. W. Creizenach, _Geschichte des
neueren Dramas_, vols. i-iii (1893-1903), is the best general
guide on the classical drama and its imitations during the
Middle Ages and the Renascence. W. Cloetta, _Beiträge zur
Litteraturgeschichte des Mittelalters und der Renaissance_: i.
_Komödie und Tragödie im Mittelalter_ (1890); ii. _Die Anfänge
der Renaissancetragödie_ (1892), deals very fully with certain
points. C. H. Herford, _Studies in the Literary Relations of
England and Germany in the Sixteenth Century_ (1886), has an
admirable chapter on _The Latin Drama_. G. Saintsbury, _The
Earlier Renaissance_ (1901), chap. vi, may also be consulted.
Useful books on the beginnings of the Elizabethan forms of
drama are R. Fischer, _Zur Kunstentwicklung der englischen
Tragödie von ihren ersten Anfängen bis zu Shakespeare_ (1893);
J. W. Cunliffe, _The Influence of Seneca on Elizabethan
Tragedy_ (1893); L. L. Schücking, _Studien über die stofflichen
Beziehungen der englischen Komödie zur italienischen bis
Lilly_ (1901); F. E. Schelling, _The English Chronicle Play_
(1902). The best bibliographies are, for the Latin plays, P.
Bahlmann, _Die Erneuerer des antiken Dramas und ihre ersten
dramatischen Versuche, 1314-1478_ (1896), and _Die lateinischen
Dramen von Wimpheling’s Stylpho bis zur Mitte des sechzehnten
Jahrhunderts, 1480-1550_ (1893); and for English plays, W. W.
Greg, _A List of English Plays written before 1643 and printed
before 1700_ (1900). This may be supplemented from W. C.
Hazlitt, _A Manual for the Collector and Amateur of Old English
Plays_ (1892). A list of early Tudor interludes will be found
in Appendix X.]
