Everyman and Medieval Miracle Plays by A C Cawley
God's creations of man in a lyrical dramatization; Noah's cantankerous and hilariously funny wife refusing to leave without her friends; the Massacre of the Innocents 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.
A. C. Cawley was Darnell Professor of English at the University of Queensland from 1959 o 1965 and Professor of English Language and Medieval English Literature at the University of Leeds from 1965 to 1979. He died in 1993.
