Interesting Reading
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I bought this as a required textbook for a class. It is interesting; the introductions to each play really illuminate the material, and the footnotes provided resolve much of the confusion the language of some plays might give to the average reader. I would reccommend it as a textbook, as well as some interesting light reading for those interested in Medieval drama.
everyman and medieval plays
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
thankyou for this opportunity. I first read this play in 1968, preceding my role as "Fellowship" for my school's production of 'The Reading of Everyman", played out within our School Chapel. In later years I can now better understand about my role not knowing then, the impact that this play would have in my adult life. I am now 57 and a retired Army Chaplain(not that you really retire). Over the years I had lost the books that I had, and now through the ability of [...] I can relive those years and can more fully understand the content. thankyou.
Me, Myself, and Everyman
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
Everyman could be my next door neighbor. Seriously. He could be virtually anyone. This character appears on every television show, every comic strip, and in almost every movie. Why? Because the character "Everyman" IS every man. The trials and tribulations of Everyman are the trials and tribulations of every man. It's that simple. Read this small tome and learn about the human condition. See how man hasn't changed one iota in half a millenium. Scary, huh? --- C.B.
Everyman: A Tale for All Times
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
Everyman transcends all times, every time. Written six hundred years ago, the tale remains as relevant now as it was then. I recommend this for anyone who has ever pondered the human condition and wonders about its future. It's all here at "Everyman."
Interesting! Everyman has everything that we value today.

Everyman may have been writen in the 1400s but its values are very true to the new century. 'Everyman' is a story about Humanity's battle for salvation, and that beauty may lose its luster, your intelligence may fade, and your Five Wits may up and leave you, all you have is your Good Deeds to take with you as a compainion to the grave. If you enjoy English Literature, read this book. Mike Fulton, Freshman Advanced English.
