The Voice of God, the Voice of Man: Religious Discourse in Late Medieval English Drama is a literary study of selected Middle English mystery and morality plays in the context of the relationship between God and man, essential to a better understanding of medieval culture. Analyzed in dramatic speeches, the artistic interpretations of the relationship not only serve as a mirror of late medieval spirituality, but also reveal the playwrights' major aesthetic awareness, repeatedly surpassing the stereotype of medieval drama as "a pulpit for the illiterate". Indeed, the dramatic texts in question unite various artistic and didactic techniques in a manner which still makes them fascinating to a present-day student.
