Everyman

Everyman is a medieval morality play that was written anonymously in the 15th century. The play tells the story of Everyman, a wealthy and successful man who is suddenly confronted by Death. Realizing that he must face judgment for his sins, Everyman seeks the help of his friends and family, but they all abandon him in his time of need. Everyman then turns to Good Deeds, who is weak and feeble due to his neglect. Together, they embark on a journey to seek redemption and salvation before it is too late. The play is a powerful allegory that explores the themes of death, sin, and the human condition. It is considered one of the greatest works of medieval English literature and has been widely studied and performed for centuries.Everyman. Gramercy, my frendes and kynnesmen kynde. Now shall I shewe you the grefe of my mynde: I was commaunded by a messenger, That is a hye kynges chefe offycer. He bad me go a pylgrymage, to my payne, And I knowe well I shall neuer come agayne.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
