Universit Paris IV Agrgation 2009 Everyman Conseils de lecture Fl.

Fl. Bourgne Read the text of Everyman as it is modernized in the syllabus edition: Everyman and Medieval Miracle Plays, ed. A.C. CAWLEY. London: Dent, 1993.
Make sure you do use the 1993 edition there are at least two previous editions of the play by the same editor. The 1961 Manchester University Press edition in the original spelling is available at http://name.umdl.umich.edu/Everyman .

The most helpful annotated edition of Everyman albeit in the original spelling is Everyman and Its Dutch Original, Elckerlijc. Edited by Clifford DAVIDSON, Martin W. WALSH, and Ton J. BROOS. Kalamazoo, MI: Medieval Institute Publications, 2007.
It is freely available in electronic form via the website of TEAMS-The Consortium for the Teaching of the Middle Ages: http://www.lib.rochester.edu/camelot/teams/daevintro.htm for the introduction http://www.lib.rochester.edu/camelot/teams/daevfrm.htm for the annotated text of the play

I suggest you read at least one other play to get acquainted with the morality genre. Mankind and Wisdom are brief and can be found in either of the two following anthologies: Medieval Drama: An Anthology, ed. Greg WALKER. Oxford : Blackwell, 2000. BnF Tolbiac - Haut-de-jardin - Salle G - 82/2 A m Medieval Drama, ed. David BEVINGTON. Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 1975. BnF Tolbiac Rez-de-jardin magasin 8- Y- 1280 A very affordable collection is: Three Late Medieval Morality Plays: Mankind Everyman Mundus et Infans, ed. G.A. LESTER. London: E. Benn, 1981. New mermaids. BnF Tolbiac - Rez-de-jardin magasin 2002- 45043 The texts of Mankind and Wisdom are also available online at: http://www.umm.maine.edu/faculty/necastro/drama/comedy/mankind.html http://www.umm.maine.edu/faculty/necastro/drama/comedy/wisdom.html A modernized text of The Castle of Perseverance [a much longer morality] can be found at: http://www.chass.utoronto.ca/~ajohnsto/cascomp.html The most accessible introduction to medieval drama remains: The Cambridge Companion to Medieval English Theatre, ed. Richard Beadle. Cambridge University Press, 1994. Sorbonne Guichet B LEA 8 = 7002 It includes one chapter on moralities (pp. 240-264) which deals briefly with Everyman (pp. 255-258).
