Description: "This is the English genius: the passion, the tragedy, the comedy of life mirrored in these seven great plays which illustrate the incomparable art of English theater. The miracle play of Abraham and Isaac is symbolic of medieval theatre; pristine in form, innocent and joyful in its praise of God. Man has lost a portion of his innocence, but still sees life as a struggle between good and evil, in Marlowe's great play Doctor Faustus. The morality play Everyman is the allegorical story of Mankind battling the sins of his nature, confronted with the supreme challenger, Death. Here is the first refrain of Milton, who undertook to explain the ways of God to men. Shakespeare's blazing magnificence has never been equaled; Macbeth, a tale of war, politics, greed, and love is at the same time a full reflection of Christian morality. Each play is presented unabridged, with informative introductory material and biographical notes. The seven essays which form Part Two of this Mentor volume are from the experts of their times-- from medieval to modern, Sir Philip Sidney to T. S. Eliot." -Publisher.
