Jeremy Collier's A Short View of the Immorality, and Profaneness of the English Stage, Together with the Sense of Antiquity on this Argument remains a significant and controversial work of drama criticism. Originally published to challenge the perceived decline in morality within English theater, Collier's passionate and meticulously argued treatise sparked considerable debate and influence. This historically important text offers a window into the religious and ethical concerns surrounding theatrical productions in England during the late 17th and early 18th centuries. Collier examines the profaneness and perceived immorality of the English stage, drawing upon historical and religious arguments to support his critique. Exploring the intersection of theater and religious ethics, A Short View delves into the morality of dramatic representation and its potential impact on audiences. It provides valuable insight into historical perspectives on drama, morality, and the role of the theater in shaping public opinion. This republication makes Collier's seminal work accessible to those interested in theater history, religious ethics, and the ongoing debate surrounding the relationship between art and morality.Also from
