英国中世纪连环剧与经济密切相关。作为中世纪主要经济组织,手工业行会的积极参与促进了英国连环剧的形成,为英国连环剧的持续繁荣提供了主要经济支持。同时,连环剧又通过行业象征或广告植入,为行会带来了一定的经济效益,为官方提供了表达权威的机会,也为民众开辟了娱乐狂欢的途径。因此,由行会支持的连环剧成为了世俗化的戏剧产品,实现了效益最大化。 British medieval drama and the economy are closely related. As a major economic organization in the Middle Ages, the active participation of handicrafts trade guilds contributed to the formation of the British drama series and provided major economic support for the continued prosperity of the British drama series. At the same time, the serial drama through industry symbol or advertising implanted for the guild will bring some economic benefits for the official to provide the opportunity to express authority, but also for the public opened up a way of entertainment carnival. As a result, the serial drama supported by the guild became a secular drama product, maximizing benefits.
