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.
