Art In The Mountains: The Story Of The Passion Play (1880) by Henry Blackburn is a comprehensive account of the world-renowned Passion Play performed in the Bavarian village of Oberammergau. The author delves into the history and origins of the play, tracing its roots back to the 17th century when the people of Oberammergau made a vow to perform the play every ten years in exchange for protection from the bubonic plague that was ravaging Europe at the time. Blackburn provides a detailed description of the play's staging, costumes, music, and choreography, as well as the religious and cultural significance of the performance. He also explores the controversies and criticisms that the play has faced over the years, including accusations of anti-Semitism and the commercialization of the event. The book is richly illustrated with photographs and drawings that capture the beauty and grandeur of the Passion Play, and includes a comprehensive index and bibliography for further reading. Art In The Mountains is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of theater, religion, and cultural traditions, and provides a fascinating glimpse into one of the world's most enduring and beloved theatrical productions.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
