The School of Abuse is a book written by Stephen Gosson in 1579, during the Elizabethan era. The book is a scathing critique of the theater of the time, which Gosson believed was corrupting the morals of the people. The book is divided into two parts; the first part is a detailed attack on the theater and its practitioners, while the second part is a defense of the book itself and its author.In the first part of the book, Gosson argues that the theater is a place of immorality and vice, where people indulge in drinking, gambling, and other sinful activities. He also criticizes the plays themselves, which he believes are full of sexual innuendo, blasphemy, and other offensive content. Gosson argues that the theater is a threat to the social order and the moral fabric of society, and that it should be banned.In the second part of the book, Gosson defends himself against the criticisms that his book has received. He argues that he is not attacking the theater out of personal animosity, but rather out of a concern for the welfare of society. He also defends his own literary style, which he believes is clear and straightforward, and not overly embellished like the plays he criticizes.Overall, The School of Abuse is an important work in the history of English literature and theater. It reflects the moral concerns of the Elizabethan era, and the debates that were taking place about the role of the theater in society. The book also provides a valuable insight into the literary style and techniques of the time, and the ways in which writers used satire and polemic to make their arguments.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
