A rare and important text, this is one of only two known copies, the original of which can be found at the British Museum. 'Nature' is written in rhyming decasyllabic verse and tackles the themes of natural law, morality, reason, and free will, exploring early humanist ideas of how mankind should live. Medwall, a chaplain to Cardinal Morton, was an influential figure in the Tudor period. One of the first English plays in existence, 'Nature' is a testament to the spirit of scholarly inquiry that was present in England in the late 15th century and an essential read for anyone interested in the genesis of the English theatre and dramatic arts.
