The Pilgrimage to Parnassus With the Two Parts of the Return From Parnassus: Three Comedies

by William Dunn Macray

This book recounts a trilogy of dramas involving university students at St. John's College, Cambridge. Set in the late 16th century, these plays provide a rare glimpse into the lives and studies of young scholars during a time of significant change and upheaval in England. The plays satirize the vanity and posturing of some academics, while also exploring the challenges faced by those seeking to make their way in the world. Through its vivid depiction of student life and the broader intellectual and social context of the period, this book offers valuable insights into the history of education and the nature of academic life.
