Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The English Religious Drama The history of the European theatre, not only west of the Channel, but upon the Continent as well, bears resemblance to the history of the little English robin, who, as his strength waxes and his breast brightens and his song grows tuneful, turns his ungrateful bill against the parents who have reared him, so that the misty autumn mornings ring with melodious defiances and cries of combat between the young birds and the old. In like manner the romantic drama, born of the Church and nourished by the Church, came in time, as it acquired an independent life and gradually passed from sacred to secular uses, to incur the resentful hostility of the parent bird, whose plumage its mischievous young activity loved to ruffle. It is not only the Christian drama which has a religious basis. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

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. At the beginning of a new epoch, old forces are combining in new syn theses. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Miracle Plays and Sacred Dramas True Protestantism, as he more than once reminds us, has affinities with the highest forms of culture. This is abundantly proved by Professor Hase's own writings. He has the same regard for the poetry and devotion of the Middle Ages as the inhabitants of Protestant Nuremberg for their own ancient and beautiful churches. The monuments of Catholic art hold their place undisturbed, and are cherished with a reverent care for which in Catholic countries we often look in vain. The work may be said to consist of two portions. The first half sketches the rise and decline of the mysteries and miracle plays, i.e., of the religious drama properly so called; the second half traces the effect of the religious play on later dramatic literature in France, Germany, and Spain, and concludes with a general criticism of the relations between the Church and the Stage. The English reader will hardly find elsewhere so comprehensive a summary as is comprised in the first two Lectures. Professor Hase has presented us with a general view of the religious drama of the Middle Ages, and he has executed his task not as a mere compiler, but as an independent inquirer in whom literary taste and knowledge are combined. He has given details enough to convey a vivid impression of the different parts of the subject, while he has kept strictly within the limits of a general survey. The notes printed at the end of the volume, which have an interest for the general reader as well as for students, sufficiently show the learning which has been devoted to the composition of the work. Of the remaining Lectures, those on the later dramas of Spain and on Hans Sachs and Lessing will perhaps be most attractive to the English reader.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Chester Plays: A Collection of Mysteries Founded Upon Scriptural Subjects, and Formerly Represented by the Trades of Chestee at Whitsuntide The Mysteries and Miracle Plays of the middle ages possess an interest not only as illustrating the history of the stage in its infancy, but as pictures of the man ners and condition of our forefathers, and also as indi cating the quantity and the peculiar character of the religious knowledge inculcated into the populace in Catholic times. The Chester Plays complete the publi cation of the different series of such productions in the English language hitherto generally known. It is perhaps desirable that the few single plays of a Similar cha racter that are found scattered in different parts should be collected together in a volume, to form a companion to the others. I think it probable also that other sets exist: one, said to be the oldest yet known, was brought to light at the Strawberry Hill sale, and it is Sincerely to be hoped that it will be published.

This book was released on 2018-02-04 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The English Moral Plays In accepting this new understanding of their duties to man, the preachers of the time changed radically their methods. They were at once forced to adapt their instruction, as the friars did, to the ill-trained audiences they addressed. In so doing they but followed a course not unknown in actuality, and long sanctioned in theory. The simplicity and directness of Augustine's discourses witness con elusively to the pains he took to reach the people. The necessity for such practical adaptation had been explained in detail by Gregory the Great in the long third part of the Pastoral Care. Moreover, in 816 those churchmen who seemed inclined to forget the teaching were reminded by the Council of aix-la-chapelle that the same kind of nourishment was not suited to all stomachs.1 Preachers, therefore, were unquestionably familiar with the principle; and they must soon have learned by experience, as their sermons were interrupted by disorders, or as they saw groups of men leaving their churches, what popular oratory demanded? The first reform, of course, was to substitute for the Latin language, which was always used in addressing the clergy, the speech of the people. Grosseteste at Lincoln and Abbot Samson at Bury St. Edmunds preached, and insisted that others preach, in English.3 But preachers had also to learn to vary their treatment of a subject to render it suitable to particular occasions. Undoubtedly, the friars showed the greatest readiness in adaptation, carrying it so far in the next century as to lay themselves open to charges of insincerity and fraud. But in general the preachers of the age worked zealously and creditably to impress upon the world the truths that it had for gotten.
