Explore the moral landscape of the theater with "Essays on the Stage," a collection featuring Thomas D'Urfey's preface to "The Campaigners" (1689) and an anonymous writer's preface to the 1699 translation of Bossuet's "Maxims and Reflections on Plays." This volume delves into the ethical considerations surrounding stage plays, offering a fascinating glimpse into the literary criticism and philosophical debates of the late 17th century.

D'Urfey and Bossuet, through their insightful essays, grapple with the morality of dramatic representation, questioning the theater's influence on society and individual behavior. This work provides invaluable primary source material for understanding the evolving relationship between drama and ethics during a pivotal period in European thought. A crucial resource for students and scholars of literary criticism, philosophy, and theater history, "Essays on the Stage" presents enduring questions about the power and responsibility of art.
