Wakefield Stanza
The Wakefield Stanza is, in literary studies, a unique stanza appearing in the medieval English religious drama called the Towneley Plays (or Towneley Cycle). Because the Towneley Cycle comes to us from a single unique manuscript that writes the verses in ways that are more convenient to the scribe than they are regular, the stanza is variously described.
