Description:Death and Life in Colonial Nahua Mexico presents seven dramas from the first truly American theater. Composed in Nahuatl during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, most of these plays survive only in later copies. Five are morality plays.

Burkhart offer faithful transcriptions of the Nahuatl as well as new English translations of these remarkable dramas.
