Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Joseph and His Brothers: An Old Testament Passion Play, in Four Acts Two courses were open to the author in regard to the biblical passages in the speeches - either to retain the Bible words without change, or to rewrite them, in order to obtain a more complete uniformity of style. In spite of the obvious difficulties involved, the former alternative has been unhesitatingly adopted. The liberties that have been taken with the events as narrated in Genesis are very trifling, and were demanded by obvious dramatic necessities. The meeting of Jacob and Joseph, that of Pharaoh and Jacob, and Jacob´s blessing, have all been brought together into the final scene, though in the Bible the three events took place at three different × and Joseph met his father in Goshen, not at the capital. In Elizabethan English no consistency was observed in the use of ye and you, nor of the third person singular in -s and -eth. This inconsistency has been followed in the text. Though this play was written for acting, and with actual representation in mind all the time, it is hoped that it may also serve as a sort of Bible-study on the Genesis narrative, and stimulate anew both the study and the teaching of the deathless tale.
