A Short View of the Immorality and Profaneness of the English Stage, Together With the Sense of Antiquity upon this Argument

“A Short View of the Immorality and Profaneness of the English Stage, Together With the Sense of Antiquity upon this Argument” by Jeremy Collier, M.A., is a seminal work of literary criticism that vehemently critiques the moral and ethical standards of English theatre in the late 17th century. Collier’s powerful arguments highlight the negative influence of contemporary plays on public morals and offer a historical perspective on the longstanding debate over art and morality. This edition, published by Doaba Publications, presents Collier’s incisive critique in a well-crafted format, making it accessible to modern readers and scholars alike. With 160 pages of thought-provoking content, this book is an essential read for those interested in the history of English literature and theatre.
