Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from The Miracle Play of Hasan and Husain, Vol. 1: Collected From Oral Tradition If the success of a drama is to be measured by the effects which it produces upon the people for whom it is composed, or upon the audiences before whom it is represented, no play has ever surpassed the tragedy known in the Mussulman world as that of Hasan and Husain. Mr. Mathew Arnold, in his "Essays on Criticism," elegantly sketches the story and effects of this "Persian Passion Play," while Macaulay´s Essay on Lord Clive has encircled the "Mystery" with a halo of immortality. In common with all my countrymen who have long resided in India, I was annually impressed by the scenes which had place in the native theatres while the recital of the woes of Hasan and Husain went on from night to night during the month of Mohurrum. On joining H.M.´s Legation in Persia in 1859 I was yet more struck by the effect produced upon all classes of society at the capital as they listened, day after day, to this unprecedentedly long tragedy. From the palace to the bazaar there was wailing and beating of breasts, and bursts of impassioned grief from scores of houses wheresoever a noble, or the merchants, or others were giving a tazia.
