Magnyfycence: A Moral Play is a play written by John Skelton in 1520, and this edition was published in 1906. The play is a morality play, which means that it is intended to teach a moral lesson to the audience. The story follows the character of Magnyfycence, a wealthy nobleman who is obsessed with his own status and power. He spends his wealth on extravagant parties and lavish gifts for himself, while neglecting his duties to his people and his family. The play is a critique of the corrupt and selfish behavior of the ruling class, and it emphasizes the importance of humility and responsibility. Magnyfycence is eventually brought to justice for his misdeeds, and the play ends with a message of redemption and the hope for a better future. Overall, Magnyfycence: A Moral Play is a thought-provoking work that offers valuable insights into the social and moral issues of its time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
