I, for one, cannot believe that the Englifh people awoke fuddenly, about the middle of the fixteenth century, to a knowledge and a love of the drama. In one form or other, the people had always had ftage-plays, or ftories in action, at their feftivities; and there can be little doubt that a young fellow like Shakelpere, with the natural proclivity to the drama, which every one muft acknowledge he had, took a part in fuch entertainments of the kind as were performed in his native village. The fa...me love of amufement which led him into all unluckinefs in 8o Shakefpere.
ftealing venifon and rabbits, would alfo lead him to make one in any projedt for private theatricals that might be on foot.
The tafte for the ftage had been for centuries foftered among all clafles of the Englifh people by the religious plays, which formed part of the celebration of the great feafls of the Church. At Chriftmas, Eafler, and Whitfuntide worldly bufinefs was laid afide for feveral days, and eVen weeks. The fovereign and principal nobility kept their courts with great magni- ficence at fome favourite palace, and ibmetimes at a rich monaftery of which they had been the benefactors; and mafques, plays, and interludes were performed in their halls by players and muficians, whom they fpecially retained, and who were therefore called their "fer- vants." For the general public the Church provided its Myfteries, Miracles, and Moralities, and thefe were played in the Ipacious naves of cathedrals and minfters, in inn yards, where the audience might fee them from the galleries and the chambers, or upon fcafFolds in market-places.
