Shakespeare's Mystery Play: A Study of the TempestKessinger Publishing, 1. 1. 2003 - 260 strán (strany) The author claims that "The Tempest" belongs to the same class of religious drama as the mediaeval Mysteries, Miracles, and Moralities; that it is an allegorical account of those psychological experiences which constitute what mystics call Initiation; that its main features must, therefore, of necessity resemble those of every ritual or ceremonial initiation which is based upon the authentic mystical tradition. |
