Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the morality of theatre and fashionable entertainment at a particular point in time. The author, an advocate for virtue and piety, questions the validity of the arguments used to support the idea that attending the theatre produces a positive benefit upon attendees. The author crafts his argument by providing counterevidence, including the idea that the theatre serves as a school of thoughtlessness rather than morality as its advocates suggest, and that its environment often leads otherwise honorable people into immoral behavior. The book concludes by suggesting that the real purpose of fashionable amusements such as theatre is to prioritize entertainment regardless of the cost to the morality of society and the individuals within it, and closes with the idea that true happiness can only be found through religious devotion.
