English Miracle Plays and Moralities is a book written by E. Hamilton Moore and published in 1907. The book is a collection of medieval English plays that were performed during the 14th and 15th centuries. These plays were performed in churches and town squares and were meant to educate the common people about religious stories and morals. The book contains a total of 24 plays, including famous ones such as Everyman, The Second Shepherds' Play, and The York Cycle. Each play is accompanied by an introduction that provides historical context and explains the themes and motifs of the play. The plays are written in Middle English, which may be difficult for modern readers to understand. However, the book includes footnotes that explain archaic words and phrases, making the plays more accessible. Overall, English Miracle Plays and Moralities is an important work of medieval literature that provides insight into the cultural and religious beliefs of the time. It is a valuable resource for scholars and students of medieval literature, as well as anyone interested in the history of English drama.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
