Paperback. Condición: Good. "Take example, all ye that this do hear or see." The Morality Play was popular in England between 1400 and 1600. It offers moral instruction and spiritual teaching with personal abstractions representing good and evil. Surviving plays from that period number about sixty and the three in this edition were among the first ten. Mankind is a plain, honest farming man who struggles against worldly and spiritual temptation. The bawdy humour and violent action in the play serve to make the moral point and instruct by example. Everyman portrays a man's struggles in the face of death to raise himself to a state of grace so that he may experience everlasting life. It is exceptional among the Moralities for this narrow focus on the last phase of life, and conveys its message with awe-inspiring seriousness. Mundus et Infans is more typical of the Morality genre. It shows an arrogant, bullying protagonist led astray by a single evildoer into a life of debauchery, before the inevitable conversion to virtue. In showing the whole of man's life it is the antithesis of Everyman, the action of which seems to take place in a single day.…

Softcover. Condición: Fine. Leichte Gebrauchsspuren; Leichte Verschmutzung / Farbtonveränderung. Morality plays were the main form of theatre in England between about 1400 and 1600. They usually portrayed a representative Christian figure locked in spiritual conflict. They have recently been revived as early examples of living theatre. The three plays offered here are typical stories of sin and repentance. The surprisingly racy Mankind shows an honest farmer first resisting then giving way to, and finally being redeemed from, the guileful temptations of the devil. The bleaker Everyman focusus on the struggle to die a holy death, while Mundus et Infans tells the life story of an arrogant bully, led astray by the personification of Folly, but repenting in old age.…
