The Moralist And The Theatre (1887)

The Moralist and the Theatre is a book written by Otto Peltzer and originally published in 1887. The book explores the relationship between morality and theatre in the late 19th century. Peltzer argues that theatre has a powerful influence on society and that it has the potential to shape moral values. He examines the role of theatre in promoting or challenging social norms and values, and discusses the responsibilities of playwrights, actors, and audiences in shaping the moral landscape of their time. The book also delves into the history of theatre and its evolution over time, from the ancient Greeks to the contemporary stage. Peltzer's writing is insightful and thought-provoking, and his analysis of the relationship between theatre and morality remains relevant today. The Moralist and the Theatre is a must-read for anyone interested in theatre, ethics, and the intersection of the two.With A Criticism On A Biblical Drama Entitled Moses And Pharaoh.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
