Excerpt from The Morality of Stage-Plays Seriously Considered
Mistakes in this article are attended with many ill consequences; they mislead our apprehensions of duty; they create ill-will, and become a source of groundless antipathy between persons, who should entertain sentiments of kindness and charity towards one another. I am sorry that there should be any appearances of this kind amongst us at present, and would think myself very happy in contributing to remove them. We are alarmed with an imputation of, irreligion, which is cast upon the entertainments of the Theatre; and it may be apprehended, that persons who listen to this charge will think very unfavourably, if not with some degree of antipathy, of their neighbours, who continue to take any part in such entertainments. I hope that no person would chuse to bear the imputation of hating his brother without a cause, and that every well-disposed person will be glad to hear any observations which may help us to form a right judgment of one another.
The Stage has subsisted in Britain about two hundred years; it has been during this period the entertainment of people of distinction, and of others too, who were enabled to partake of it. Whether it has corrupted our people in any degree, is a question not easily determined.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book discusses the history of theater as entertainment in Britain, the controversy of its religious implications, and the theatrical features of tragedies and comedies. The author notes that plays had been the subject of public debate, with some arguing that they were immoral and offensive to religion. The author, however, argues that well-written and morally sound theatrical performances can have positive benefits for society. The author believes that tragedies and comedies can provide moral instruction and promote empathy in the audience through immersion into moving characters and situations. The author also dispels the idea that promoting plays encourages idleness or vice as theater can challenge immorality and encourage human connection.
