Purchase options and add-ons
Miracle Plays were a popular form of entertainment throughout the Middle Ages, and part of the poetic and dramatic tradition on which Shakespeare drew. Everyman discovers what you can't take with you when you go. He beseeches in turn friends, family (one pleads 'cramp in my toe'), possessions ('I follow no man in such voyages'), and finally falls back on moral and religious values.
This is the most comprehensive paperback edition available and includes an introduction and extensive notes.

- Mrs. K. A. WheatleyReviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 January 2013
5.0 out of 5 stars Thoroughly Enjoyable on Lots of Levels
Verified PurchaseIt's been years since I've read any middle English or medieval texts, about twenty in fact, since I was at university. I started reading this book for research purposes, as we are thinking of staging a mystery play in the school I work in. I found it really hard going to begin with, but then realised that the trick was to read the verses aloud. The punctuation, and the phonetic spelling really help to shape the words as you say them, and their meaning becomes much clearer. After a while I found myself thoroughly enjoying the plays, and reading them for pleasure as much as for research. I am now on my second volume of plays and loving them. The stories are vivid and interesting, the language, if you are at all interested in how English has evolved, is fascinating and the plays are short enough to keep my interest and focus. The history of how and why the plays were produced and who put them on is another factor which really interested me and I actually found myself voluntarily reading all the academic notes and foreward/appendix pages too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great collection with helpful notes
Verified PurchaseThis is a good collection, with a lot of helpful notes to help with translation from the old English, as well as commentary about medieval productions of the plays and the thought that produced these plays.
