The discovery by Mr. Arundell Esdaile of the fragmentary morality Love Fayned and Unfayned has contributed to the history of English drama a document of peculiar interest. The play can, I believe, lay claim to unique significance as reflecting a phase of religious controversy otherwise unrepresented in the drama. Although the fragmentary character of the material renders analysis difficult, the 243 extant lines contain evidence on the basis of which the play may be characterized as an allegorical defense of the sect of Anabaptists. It seems further to reflect, in one aspect, the influence of a group with which the Anabaptists had certain affinities,—the Family of Love.
