Bag om The Macro Plays

The Macro Plays: Mankind; Wisdom; The Castle Of Perseverance (1904) is a book edited by Frederick James Furnivall. It is a collection of three medieval plays that were originally performed in the 15th century as part of the ""Mystery Plays"" tradition. The first play, Mankind, is a moral allegory that tells the story of a man who is tempted by vices and saved by virtues. The second play, Wisdom, is a dialogue between King Solomon and his mother on the nature of wisdom. The third play, The Castle of Perseverance, is a morality play that follows the journey of a man named Everyman through life, death, and judgment. The book includes the original Middle English text of the plays, as well as Furnivall's modern English translations and extensive notes on the historical and cultural context of the plays. The Macro Plays is a valuable resource for scholars of medieval literature and drama, as well as anyone interested in the history of theater and morality plays.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
