This fifteenth-century work follows the formal conventions of the morality play, but the bawdy, irreverent battle between its virtues and vices anticipates the secular Elizabethan comedies that followed. This Groundling Press edition features a new introduction, textual notes and annotations, and an appendix of additional materials related to this anonymous sixteenth-century play. This is not a reprint of an existing public domain etext, but an entirely new edition, newly modernized from the earliest existing printed copies, published in 1593 and 1604, then edited and annotated for the general reader and formatted for readability on your device.
