Book excerpt: Written in Middle English during the Tudor period, "Everyman" is the most famous example of the medieval morality play. Popular in Europe during the 15th and 16th century, morality plays were allegorical dramas in which the protagonists are met with the personifications of personal attributes and tasked with choosing either a good and godly life or evil. "Everyman" is the archetypal morality play, as the main character, Everyman, represents all of mankind. God, frustrated with the wicked and greedy, sends Death to Everyman and summons him to account for his misdeeds and sins. It was believed that God tallied all of one's good and evil deeds in life and then one must provide an accounting before God upon one's death. During Everyman's pilgrimage to God, he meets many characters, such as Fellowship, Good Deeds, and Knowledge. Everyman asks them all to join him in his journey so that he may improve his reckoning before God. In the end, it is only Good Deeds that stays with him before God and helps Everyman find salvation and eternal life. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This important new study of the English mystery plays has a twofold purpose. It is concerned to investigate the antecedents of the four extant cycles and to demonstrate the dramatic value of the plays themselves The opening and concluding chapters place the plays in their historical context by discussing on the one hand the emergence and achievements of genuine religious drama (as opposed to liturgical drama) in the twelfth century and on the other the changes in taste that threw the plays into disrepute in the sixteenth century. The man part of the book analyzes the plays in detail, considering the iconographic and theological traditions that guided the dramatists in their treatment of biblical subject-matter, and also looking at the Continental drama of the time to find out what other dramatic possibilities were open to writers in the Middle Ages. -- From publisher's description.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Miracle Plays and Moralities Thee present volume is gratefully dedicated to those members of the Theatrical Profession who have attempted, during recent years, the revival of our early Drama. That this attempt has not achieved much more than a succes d'estime is not to be laid to the charge of those enthusiastic students and sincere artists who, at the cost of loss and disappointment, strove to re-awaken, to the light of modern day, the Sleeping Beauty of mediæval art. Those who saw the presentation of Everyman by the Elizabethan Stage Society, of the Chester Mysteries by the English Drama Society, will not forget the reverent unclosing of that door, symbol-inscribed, and how long closed through which came sounds and rumours of no fairylands forlorn, but the authentic voices of our own and Chaucer's fellow countrymen. In an age like the present, it is well, now and then, to look back to the beginnings. The Theatre is a topic for all, a pastime for most, an experiment for some, a sincere enthusiasm for, alas, how few! The majority of those who deplore, the mass of those who defend its modern development, are equally ignorant of the processes by which it has been evolved, are almost unaware that such processes are implied.
