Everyman is a 16th century English morality play, with origins in a late 15th century Dutch morality play called Elckerlijc.

Everyman is generally agreed to be a translation of a 921 line long Dutch morality play called Elckerlijc written by Peter van Diest, first printed in 1495, and a later version in 1518. There has been considerable controversy surrounding the relationship between these two plays, with some literary historians arguing for the priority of the Dutch, and others the English version. Most of the arguments rely on the superiority of one play or another in quality, and thus the assumption goes, the better quality play must be the original, since most translations are never as good as the original.
