I actually read an online version of this text provided by my teacher as part of my Introduction to Drama course, so this is not the same version I'm writing about, but is the same work. Personally, I found this play to be quite a bit more simple and straightforward than most, while having language that could be very difficult to fully follow at times. It is a great allegorical work, and a good example of a morality play, but I don't think I'll ever count it among my favorite dramatic works. Still, there is quite a serious lesson there to ponder, and anyone interested in seriously studying drama will likely consider this to be an important era of development in the history of the form. Overall, I am kind of glad we had to read it, because even if I don't love it, I definitely think it's interesting. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension

Western drama, having all but disappeared during the Dark Ages, reemerged spontaneously in the liturgy and life of the medieval church. Vernacular miracle plays of England's Middle Ages were performed by lay people -- many by trade guilds -- unschooled in church Latin, but familiar with the biblical events upon which the dramas were based. Morality plays provided moral instruction, their principal characters vivid personifications of virtue and vice. The most durable of the morality plays has proven to be Everyman, whose central character, summoned by Death, must face final judgment on the strength of his good deeds. This venerable drama is reprinted here along with three other medieval classics: The Second Shepherds' Play, Noah's Flood, and Hickscorner. Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |

The 1981 reprint of Cawley’s MUP edition. A cheaply made little paperback that designed to last one term before sitting in your parents’ attic for twenty years. It preserves the original spelling and Cawley clearly tracks any changes that he’s made. Really good introduction and particularly full notes that answer some of the knottier questions but also have enough to help beginners. I think some of the earlier printings might have been better made (?) but reprints from 1977 onwards have corrections and an updated bibliography. ( )
