This Prestwick House Literary Touchstone Classic includes a glossary and notes to help the modern reader understand both the vernacular of medieval times and the plays' biblical references. The messenger? Death. The message? God has summoned you to stand before Him and give a reckoning of your life. What do you do? The protagonist of this play, the shocked and distraught Everyman, faces this exact issue. But he is granted a day's grace to gather together anyone who will travel with him and help him at his judgment. As this moral allegory unfolds, however, poor Everyman learns that neither possessions, nor accomplishments, nor character traits will follow him to the grave. He must face his reckoning alone... Perhaps because Everyman's problem is our problem, this play, one of the earliest extant dramas in English, still provokes thought and discussion nearly 700 years after it was written.

Can't Navigate Kindle Version,

This review is from: Everyman and The Second Shepherds' Play - Literary Touchstone Classic (Kindle Edition)
This review is of the Kindle format, not the text. The table of contents seems faulty. I am not able to go to the Second Shepherd's play only to Everyman or to the glossary of the Second Shepherd's play. Of course the Kindle search function is no better than, if as good as, it is on any Kindle text.
I'D CHANGe THIS TO A 1 STAR BUT IT'S TOO MUCH TROUBLE.The texts themselves are in print so small that I can't read them and the text size cannot be changed. IThe poor rating should perhaps be given to the Kindle. I am looking for a way to get a refund on this text.

WHAT THE CATHOLIC CHURCH FORGOT ABOUT BEING CHRISTIAN,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Everyman and The Second Shepherds' Play - Literary Touchstone Classic (Paperback)
There is very little Middle Ages litature worth reading, this is an exception. Yet, whenever I read this play I am amazed at its message - it seems so unlikly that the most corrupt church in history wrote and endorsed this play and message. To bad the Catholic Church does not practice its message.
