Summary/Abstract: The book Dutch theatre plays in the Middle Ages gives an insight into the richness of Dutch written theater culture from the Middle Ages and the beginning of the Renaissance. The book is divided into twelve chapters, centered around the most famous representatives of medieval theater production from the Dutch-speaking environment. First of all, the so-called Abele Spelen, the first worldly theatre pieces written in Dutch. The second focus is on the play Elckerlijc, the best-known rhetoric Dutch play from the late fifteenth century and the third on the late-medieval miracle play Mariken van Nieumeghen. These chapters are combined with studies on the history of Dutch medieval literature (the theme of the death dance, Neolatin Dutch theater, indecent speech in farces etc.).
