We talked a little bit about the importance of the manuscript a little bit in Thursday's class. Because the N Town plays are such mysterious plays it can be hard to know much if anything about the true origins of the manuscript or who created or compiled them. This article, written in 2014, talks about Robert Hegge and his claims that the manuscript primarily belonged to him. This article looks into the history and validity of this claim and also looks at how truly sacred these manuscripts were throughout this era.
Here is the citation and hyperlink for this article.
