N-Town Plays' Wikipedia article is a community-edited encyclopedia entry, covering the sole surviving manuscript at the British Library, the plays' East Anglian linguistic origin, the forty-two plays plus a banns, the Ludus Coventriae naming confusion, and content spanning Creation to the Last Judgment. Its strength is that these are the kind of stable, documentable facts a general reference handles well. Its limit is that a claim about the cycle's authorship or theological program needs a specialist scholarly source, not this overview.
