Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Religious Drama The purpose of this book is to supply a short sketch of the story of the drama as an art of the Christian Church from its beginnings to the present day. Portions of this story, notably those which bear on the development of the secular drama, have formed the subject of many learned works. But there does not seem to be any one book which covers the whole ground. Though it is not to be supposed that so small a volume as the present can fill so large a deficiency, it can at any rate attempt to outline the history of the Christian drama as a connected whole, and, in so doing, to vindicate its claim to the designation of a religious art.

Download or read book The English Religious Drama Classic Reprint written by Katharine Lee Bates and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-13 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The English Religious Drama Persia, while the very name tragedy confesses the outgrowth of the Attic stage from sacrificial cere monies. É'lt the altar of Dionysus, giver of wine, giver of joy, giver of freedom, while the goat, the thank-offering, stood waiting to be slain, the Shaggy vestured priests, with one wild rhythm of voice and step and gesture, chanted an anthem of praise known as the goat-song (tpcifyos or tragedy. So the paean, with music of the flutes and rhythmic dancing, was sung at Delphi in honour of Apollo; and song, too, entered into the mystic worship of Demeter at Eleusis. And as at Delphi there grew up, in connection with the lyric service, a repre sentation of the victory of the young god of light over the deadly serpent, and as at Eleusis the rape of Persephone and the wanderings of Demeter, Shown by the uncertain light of torches, were woven into the symbolical rites, so from the choral worship of Dionysus, by slower and more even steps, leading to transcendent height, rose the classic drama. Yet even in beauty-loving Hellas there was a sen timent opposed to theatrical representation. Solon is reported to have said, on meeting the car of Thespis, that somewhat dim-featured founder of Greek tragedy: Are you not ashamed to tell so many lies? And the man of truth, Lycurgus, would allow no theatre in Sparta. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Interplay of Religion and Drama The purpose OF this thesis is to show the re sults of an investigation made which has convinced the author that there has been and still is an inter play of drama and religion, whereby both have profit ed or suffered from the results of the influence each has had upon the other. I would not have the reader think for a moment that I propose to prove the religious belief of any author, for with the exception of the primitive ih stinct to believe in some power or force by Which the universe came into existence, whether it be nature or Spirit or something still unconceived by the mind of man, I daresay many to whom I shall refer would deny having any religious belief; most certainly they would deny, and justly so, the assertion that they had an ideaof illustrating a religious truth in their dramas.

Even though the medieval play grew out of the church, later times brought so wide a gulf that even now, when this distance is rapidly diminishing, the drawing to gether seems strange. Not so long ago, the very linking of the words Christianity and the stage would have offended Christian ears. But the war changed our world.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Children of Israel: A Play in Three Acts Religious Drama is quickening the Spiritual life Of communi ties to-day as it did in the early days of the Church. The revival Of this form of drama at the close of the World War was sug gested by the Drama League of America as a means of carrying over into everyday life the awakened conscience of the people. A Religious Drama Committee was called by the League to dis cuss the subject in the broadest use of the term, the aim being, to secure plays of Biblical and ethical value, plays capable of stimulating high ideals. As the supply of such material was inadequate the League held a religious drama prize competition to secure worth while plays, and to arouse interest in the subject. The result was satisfactory and valuable material was gained. Selected plays from this competition are to appear in a Drama League Series, Children Of Israel, the title of this volume, being one of the series. Churches eagerly adopted the League's idea of utilizing drama in church work, realizing that the Church alone does not Offer the balanced recreation that people crave, and that the art of the drama appealing to the triple nature of man is Of inestimable value in supplying this need. The movement has grown so rap idly that it will be necessary to correlate the work of the Drama League, various churches and organizations working in the field of religious drama, that effort may not be duplicated and that the high ideals for which the League stands may be maintained.
