The Pilgrimage to Parnassus is a book written by William Dunn Macray in 1886. It is a collection of two parts: The Pilgrimage to Parnassus and The Return from Parnassus. The book is a satirical commentary on the state of literature and the arts in England during the 16th and 17th centuries. The Pilgrimage to Parnassus is a play that depicts the journey of three Cambridge students to Mount Parnassus, the home of the Muses, in search of inspiration for their writing. The play is filled with witty dialogue and humorous situations. The Return from Parnassus is a continuation of the play, in which the students return to Cambridge and face the harsh realities of the literary world. The book is a fascinating insight into the literary culture of the time and provides a unique perspective on the challenges faced by writers and artists. It is a must-read for anyone interested in literature, history, or the arts.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
