A Glance At The Passion-Play written by Richard F. Burton is a book that provides a detailed account of the Passion Play, a dramatic representation of the Passion of Christ that is performed every ten years in the Bavarian town of Oberammergau. The book is divided into two parts, the first part being a historical overview of the Passion Play, its origins, development, and the controversies surrounding it. The second part of the book is a description of Burton's personal experience of attending the Passion Play in 1860. Burton provides a detailed description of the play, including the costumes, stage setting, and the performance itself. He also describes the town of Oberammergau and its inhabitants, providing insight into their religious beliefs and way of life. The book also contains illustrations of the play and its characters, as well as photographs of the town and its people.Overall, A Glance At The Passion-Play is a fascinating and informative book that provides a unique glimpse into the history and culture of Bavaria, as well as the religious traditions of the Passion Play.
