Description:
Shakespeare's vibrant history plays, including "Richard II"; "Richard III"; "Henry IV", Parts I and II; and "Henry V", spring to life with all the drama of the feuds, rivalries, and epic battles on which they were based. Aware of the historical past and a keen observer of his own times, Shakespeare's true genius lies in the timeless universality he lends to the lives of these legendary royals and the schemers and dreamers who made up their worlds. This new edition of critical essays covering the Bard's history plays also includes a chronology, bibliography, index and introductory essay by renowned Shakespearean scholar Harold Bloom.
