Abele Spelen by Gerrit Komrij
A modern edition and translation of medieval Dutch secular plays that preserves their courtly lyricism and earthy humor while making them accessible to contemporary readers; the short dramas and accompanying comic interludes stage love, jealousy, honor and social rivalry through terse dialogue and poetic monologue, alternating dignified allegory with ribald satire to reveal tensions between passion and duty and to probe medieval social codes, and are presented with notes and commentary that illuminate their language, performance context and enduring theatrical vitality.
