Everyman and Other Plays

Written in Middle English during the Tudor period, â€œEverymanâ€ is the most famous example of the medieval morality play. Popular in Europe during the 15th and 16th century, morality plays were allegorical dramas in which the protagonists are met with the personifications of personal attributes and tasked with choosing either a good and godly life or evil. â€œEverymanâ€ is the archetypal morality play, as the main character, Everyman, represents all of mankind. God, frustrated with the wicked and greedy, sends Death to Everyman and summons him to account for his misdeeds and sins. It was believed that God tallied all of oneâ€™s good and evil deeds in life and then one must provide an accounting before God upon oneâ€™s death. During Everymanâ€™s pilgrimage to God, he meets many characters, such as Fellowship, Good Deeds, and Knowledge. Everyman asks them all to join him in his journey so that he may improve his reckoning before God. In the end, it is only Good Deeds that stays with him before God and helps Everyman find salvation and eternal life. In addition to â€œEveryman,â€ this volume contains several other morality plays from medieval Europe. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.
