Peter van Diest (1454–1507)

I actually read an online version of this text provided by my teacher as part of my Introduction to Drama course, so this is not the same version I'm writing about, but is the same work (speaking specifically about The Second Shepherds' Play). The language was difficult and hard to follow, and I really did not care for it all that terribly much with the time that it took to unravel what was being said, but as a mystery play, it does play a fairly large role in the history of drama. I really show more can't see myself choosing to read it again unless required for a class, but you never know. show less
