- Abstract:
- This essay argues that humanist reading practices, methods of analysis, and aesthetics transformed traditional morality drama in the 1560s and 1570s in a way that accounts for the form's resurgence. The essay looks closely at Ulpian Fulwell's "Like Will to Like" (1568), William Wager's "The Longer Thou Livest the More Fool Thou Art" (1569) and "Enough Is as Good as a Feast" (1570), and George Gascoigne's "The Glass of Government" (1575).
