Book Overview

The Origin of the English Drama Volume 3: Mystery, Morality, Tragedy and Comedy is a book written by Thomas Hawkins and originally published in 1773. The book is a comprehensive study of the origins and evolution of English drama, focusing on four major genres: mystery plays, morality plays, tragedy, and comedy. Hawkins explores the historical and cultural contexts in which these genres emerged and developed, tracing their evolution from medieval times to the Renaissance and beyond. He examines the themes, characters, and techniques used in each genre, and considers their influence on later works of English literature and drama.
