''A Treatise Against Dicing, Dancing, Plays and Interludes with Other Idle Pastimes'' is a book written by John Northbrooke in the late 16th century. The book is a moralistic treatise that argues against various forms of entertainment that Northbrooke deemed to be idle and sinful. The book covers a range of topics, including the dangers of gambling, the immorality of dancing, and the corrupting influence of plays and interludes. Northbrooke uses biblical and historical examples to support his arguments and makes a case for the importance of living a virtuous and godly life. The book was written during a time when there was a growing concern about the moral decay of society, and it reflects the Puritan values and beliefs that were prevalent in England at the time. Overall, ''A Treatise Against Dicing, Dancing, Plays and Interludes with Other Idle Pastimes'' is a fascinating insight into the attitudes and values of 16th-century England and provides a valuable historical perspective on the role of entertainment in society.1843. Although dramatic performances in England had been incidentally condemned in several anterior productions, the tract now reprinted is the earliest, separate and systematic attack upon them. It therefore forms the first of the series of publications of the kind, which from time to time will be presented to the members of the Shakespeare Society, because such works are importantly illustrative of the condition and history of the stage, and of the nature and character of the pieces exhibited upon it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
