by Esther Willard Bates (Editor)

Everyman: A Medieval Morality Play is a classic work of literature that explores the concept of morality and the inevitability of death. Written by Esther Willard Bates, this play is a modern translation of the original medieval play that was written in the 15th century. The story follows the character of Everyman, who represents every human being, as he is confronted by Death and must face the consequences of his actions in life. Through a series of encounters with various allegorical characters, including Good Deeds, Knowledge, and Beauty, Everyman learns the true meaning of life and the importance of living a virtuous and moral existence. This play is a powerful and thought-provoking work that continues to resonate with readers today, as it speaks to universal themes of mortality, morality, and the human condition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
