'in the Looking glajie for London and England, written by Thomas Lodge and Robert Greene, the cruel and brutal son who treats his parents, Alcon and Samia, with neglect and contempt, and refuses them any succour in their utmost need, is called Radagmz, by metathesis, from a dragon.'

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is an early modern play bringing together strands of popular historical and literary themes, from the legend of the wicked King Jeroboam to the moralistic tradition of the morality play. The Looking-Glass for London and England examines the corruption and oppression of England's capital and upper classes through the lens of two interwoven morality plays: one set in the biblical kingdom of Israel, and the other in the court of an allegorical King of Nineveh. Through pageantry, dramatic spectacle, and poetic justice, the author attempts to shed light on how the sins of pride, greed, and injustice may lead to social unrest, political upheaval, and moral decline.
