Part 4 Criticism and Evaluation

12 The ‘Now’ of ‘Then’ (2002 for 2000)

The focus of this chapter is Chester’s play of Antichrist. I want to argue that there is a particular appropriateness in having that episode in Chester’s civic cycle because Chester shows a concern with the past that is not found in York’s play. And I want to suggest that that distinction may have something to do with different attitudes towards accessing spiritual truth which may relate to the dates of the two cycles. But first I want to consider how some nondramatic writers access the biblical past.
