Opis: Marciano; Or the Discovery - Clark William

Excerpt from Marciano; Or the Discovery: A Tragi-Comedy<br><br>Although in the earlier times, dating back to the reign of King James I., moralities and religious mysteries were occasionally performed under sanction of the Church, stage plays have never been regarded with favour in Scotland, the clergy more especially being opposed to amusements generally, and imbuing their followers with the same narrow prejudice. The nearest approach to the regular drama was Sir David Lindsay's "Plesant Satyre of the Thre Estaites," which was first represented "at Lithguoe before the Kinge and Queene, and the hoole counsaile, spiritual and temporale, in the feast of the Epiphane of our Lorde, January 1539." It was subsequently acted "at Cupar, in the Playfield, on the Castle hill," and "in the Grenesyd, besyd Edinburgh, in presence of the Quene Regent." Whether from the grossly indelicate allusions throughout this piece, which were intended merely as a reflex of the popular spirit of the period, or from some other cause, arising out of the author having previously rendered himself obnoxious to Roman Catholics by promulgating the reformed belief, a council of the clergy held in the Blackfriars of Edinburgh in March 1558-59, "made an act that Sir David Lindsay's book should be abolished and burned."<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
