About this title

Synopsis

The Afterpiece To The Comedy Of Convocation: In Two Scenes (1870) is a play written by Edward Josiah Stearns. The play is a satirical take on the convocation of the Episcopal Church in the United States. It is divided into two scenes, both of which take place in a church. The first scene is a parody of a church service, with the characters engaging in humorous and irreverent behavior. The second scene is a debate between two characters, one representing the conservative faction of the church and the other representing the liberal faction. The play is a commentary on the divisions within the church and the struggle for control between the two factions. It is written in a witty and satirical style, with a focus on humor and irony. Overall, The Afterpiece To The Comedy Of Convocation: In Two Scenes (1870) is a humorous and thought-provoking play that offers a unique perspective on the Episcopal Church in the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
