Is English drama secular in its origins?
Partly. The roots of English drama lie partly in indigenous Miracle and Mystery plays which were sacred in nature, but also in the Latin plays of Seneca, Plautus and Terence which were decidedly secular. It was when the style of the homegrown sacred plays was married with the plot structure and subject matter of the Latin plays that the English drama was born.
