Synopsis
Excerpt from An Essay on the Character and Influence of the Stage
Flattering compliments from a venal pen may'soothe the pride of greatness, and there may be golden reasons for employing the honeyed accents of praise, to emblazon the generosity, 'and exalt the taste of some'distlnguished lord of our creation: but the man who will sacrifice his dignity to his' interest, dishonours human nature, and. Has only to turn player to complete the degradation at his character.

An Essay on the Character and Influence of the Stage (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: NEW. Print on Demand. This book takes a deep dive into the history of theater, examining its profound effects on morals and happiness throughout its evolution. The author traces the development of theatrical performance from its origins in ancient Greece to its modern manifestations. Exploring the central role the theater plays in both perpetuating and reflecting societal norms, the author argues that, while theater has the potential to be a powerful force for good, it has historically been a corrupting influence. The author draws from a wide range of sources, including historians, philosophers, and religious leaders, to support their argument that the theater, as it has been traditionally practiced, poses a significant threat to morality and well-being. Ultimately, this book provides a comprehensive analysis of the theater's complex relationship with society, offering valuable insights into its enduring impact on human culture.
