Book introduction
Everyman and Other Interludes
Everyman is the classic English morality play, a compact drama about death, conscience, spiritual accounting, and the search for what can accompany a person beyond worldly life. Its allegorical figures and direct theatrical force make it central to medieval English drama and religious literature.
