Plays and Puritans is a collection of essays written by Charles Kingsley, a prominent English clergyman and author, in the mid-19th century. The book explores the relationship between the theatre and Puritanism during the English Renaissance, focusing on the period from the reign of Elizabeth I to the Restoration of Charles II. Kingsley examines the Puritan opposition to theatre and the social and cultural factors that contributed to this opposition. He also discusses the works of prominent playwrights such as Shakespeare and Ben Jonson, and their relationship with Puritanism. Throughout the book, Kingsley argues that the theatre played an important role in shaping English culture and society, and that the Puritan opposition to it was misguided. The essays in Plays and Puritans provide valuable insights into the cultural and social history of England during the Renaissance, and the ongoing debates about the role of the arts in society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
