First published in 1950, English Drama from Early Times to the Elizabethans is a detailed examination of representative plays, and of the growth of a native drama in England up to the foundation of the Tudor stage. The major purpose of this book is to throw light on and to show the link, in tradition and culture, between the medieval miracle, mystery and morality plays and renaissance, particularly Shakespearean, drama. This book will be a valuable read for students and researchers of English literature and literary criticism.

A.P. Rossiter (1903–1957) was educated at Bristol Grammar School and Selwyn College, Cambridge, where he earned first-class honours in both Natural Sciences and English. After teaching briefly in Cambridge, he served as an Instructor at the Imperial Japanese Naval Academy in Hiroshima from 1928–1934. Returning to England, he taught at Durham University for ten years while serving as a Home Guard sergeant during WWII. In 1945, he was elected Fellow of Jesus College, Cambridge, where he served as Tutor and Director of Studies in English until his death.
