Omschrijving

The book ""The Plays of Our Forefathers and Some of the Traditions Upon Which They Were Founded"" by Charles Mills Gayley is a comprehensive study of the early English plays that were performed during the medieval period. The book explores the historical and cultural context of these plays, including the religious and political influences that shaped their themes and content.Gayley examines a wide range of plays, including mystery plays, miracle plays, morality plays, and interludes, and provides detailed analysis of their structure, language, and themes. He also explores the role of the actors, the staging and production of the plays, and the audience response to them.In addition to his analysis of the plays themselves, Gayley also delves into the traditions and folklore that inspired them. He explores the significance of festivals and holidays such as Christmas, Easter, and May Day, and discusses the role of the church in shaping these traditions.Overall, ""The Plays of Our Forefathers and Some of the Traditions Upon Which They Were Founded"" provides a fascinating and insightful look at the early English theater and the cultural and historical context that gave rise to it. It is an essential read for anyone interested in the history of theater, literature, or medieval culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
