Followers of St. Francis: Four Plays of the Early Franciscan is a compelling collection of dramatic works by Laurence Housman that explores the spiritual lives and profound struggles of the early members of the Franciscan Order. Through four distinct plays-Cure of Souls, Lovers Meeting, The Fool's Errand, and The Last Disciple-Housman brings to life the simplicity, devotion, and challenges faced by those who chose to follow the path of Saint Francis of Assisi.

The narratives focus on the core tenets of the Franciscan movement, including the embrace of poverty and the pursuit of a humble life in service to others. Housman's writing captures the historical atmosphere of the 13th century while emphasizing the timeless human elements of faith and sacrifice. As a prominent figure in 20th-century drama, Housman employs lyrical dialogue and sensitive characterizations to portray the internal and external conflicts of the friars. This work is an essential piece of religious literature, providing a nuanced look at the early days of one of Christianity's most significant movements and the enduring spiritual legacy of its followers. Its blend of historical insight and dramatic artistry makes it a valuable resource for those interested in medieval history, theology, and classic English drama.
