Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. The historical plays of the English Bard are analyzed here, focusing on Henry VI trilogy and Richard III, with the author spotlighting the shift from history to chronicle history. The author suggests that this genre change reflects the move away from a singular protagonist, typical of tragedy, towards an emphasis on the chorus and multiple plot lines. This book also examines language use by Shakespeare as it pertains to subject and class distinctions, as well as a historical analysis of the era chronicled in the plays, which adds depth to the reader's understanding. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330912973_0
