Description

Explore a foundational study of Shakespearean drama with Shakespeare's History: Mirrors of Elizabethan Policy from Routledge Library Editions. Originally published in 1947 and reprinted from the 1964 UK edition, this work presents a unique argument for treating historical plays as a distinct genre. Unlike tragedies or comedies, these plays focus on a political pattern reflecting the philosophy of the Elizabethan age. From the reign of King John to the actions of Richard III, this book examines how Shakespeare wove English history into his dramatic plots. It offers a deep look into the political themes that define his history plays, providing essential context for students and scholars of poetry, drama, and criticism.
