by Douglas Bruster (Editor), Eric Rasmussen (Editor), Gordon McMullan (Editor)

Everyman and Mankind are morality plays which mark the turn of the medieval period to the early modern, with their focus on the individual. Everyman follows a man's journey towards death and his efforts to secure himself a life thereafter, whilst Mankind shows a man battling with temptation and sin, often with great humour.

Both texts are modernised here and edited to the highest standards
of scholarship, with full on-page commentaries giving the depth of
information and insight associated with all Arden editions.

The comprehensive, illustrated introduction argues that the plays
signal the birth of the early modern consciousness and puts them in
their
historic and religious contexts. An account is also given of the
staging and performance history of the plays and their critical history
and significance. With a wealth of helpful and incisive commentary this
is the finest edition of the plays available.
