Shakespeare's History Plays
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page research paper that discusses Shakespeare's ten history plays constitute a substantial portion of his canon.

These eight plays offer a survey of English history that begins in the last years of the reign of Richard II and end with the death of Richard III. The following survey of Shakespeare's history plays looks at where they fit in the Shakespeare's conception of English history and their historical accuracy. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
