Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book discusses the history of theater as entertainment in Britain, the controversy of its religious implications, and the theatrical features of tragedies and comedies. The author notes that plays had been the subject of public debate, with some arguing that they were immoral and offensive to religion. The author, however, argues that well-written and morally sound theatrical performances can have positive benefits for society. The author believes that tragedies and comedies can provide moral instruction and promote empathy in the audience through immersion into moving characters and situations. The author also dispels the idea that promoting plays encourages idleness or vice as theater can challenge immorality and encourage human connection. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330691267_0
