Synopsis

The book ""The Controversy Between The Puritans And The Stage"" by Elbert N. S. Thompson delves into the historical and ideological conflict between the Puritans and the theater in seventeenth-century England. The author explores the Puritan opposition to the theater and the reasons behind it, including their belief that it promoted immorality and was a distraction from religious devotion. Thompson also examines the arguments made by those who defended the stage, including playwrights and actors, and the ways in which they attempted to reconcile their art with Puritan values. Through a thorough analysis of primary sources, including sermons, pamphlets, and plays, the book provides a nuanced understanding of the complex relationship between the Puritans and the stage during a transformative period in English history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
