Every-Man: A Morality

By Anonymous

Book Overview

""Every-Man: A Morality"" is a play written by an anonymous author in the late 15th century, and printed by Richard Pynson in 1509. The play follows the journey of Everyman, a character who represents all of humanity, as he faces his own mortality and seeks redemption for his sins. Everyman is accompanied on his journey by various allegorical characters, including Fellowship, Kindred, Goods, and Knowledge, who offer him guidance and advice. Through his encounters with these characters, Everyman learns the importance of spiritual values and the fleeting nature of worldly possessions. The play is a powerful exploration of Christian morality and the human condition, and has been widely studied and performed for centuries. This edition of the play includes an introduction by the editor, Rycharde Pynson, which provides historical context and analysis of the play's themes and significance.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
