Summary "Recently Recovered 'Lost' Tudor Plays with Some Others" by John Stephen Farmer is a collection of historical plays written in the late 19th century. The collection features several plays, including three recently recovered "lost" works from the Tudor period, namely "Wealth and Health," "Impatient Poverty," and "John the Evangelist." This compilation aims to shed light on a lesser-known aspect of early English dramatic literature, making these texts accessible to scholars and enthusiasts alike. At the start of the collection, the editor John S. Farmer discusses the significance of the recent discovery of these lost Tudor plays, unearthed in an Irish country house. He details the excitement surrounding their recovery in 1906 and emphasizes their potential value for scholarship. The opening portion also introduces the stage set of "Mankind," a morality play that will be featured in the volume. The play presents its characters—Mercy and Mankind—engaging in a dialogue about the struggle between good and evil, establishing a moral framework that aligns with the themes explored in the Tudor plays throughout the collection.
