Page viii Preface In 1965 R.M. Lumiansky and I began our collaboration on an edition of the Chester Mystery Cycle to replace the then standard edition, begun by Hermann Deimling and, after his death, completed by an otherwise unknown "Dr. Matthews," which had been published in two volumes by the Early English Text Society in 1892 and 1913.
