Publisher's Synopsis

English History In Shakespeare�������s Plays is a book written by Beverley Ellison Warner, first published in 1894. The book is a comprehensive analysis of the historical events and characters depicted in Shakespeare's plays, particularly those set in England. The author provides a detailed account of the political and social history of England during the Elizabethan and Jacobean eras, and how these events influenced Shakespeare's writing. He examines each of Shakespeare's history plays, including Richard II, Henry IV, Henry V, Henry VI, Richard III, and King John, providing a critical analysis of the characters, themes, and historical accuracy of each play.Warner also explores the literary techniques used by Shakespeare to convey historical events and characters, such as the use of soliloquies and monologues to reveal the inner thoughts and motivations of characters. He also discusses the influence of contemporary historical figures, such as Queen Elizabeth I and King James I, on Shakespeare's writing.Overall, English History In Shakespeare�������s Plays is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Shakespeare's historical plays, providing a detailed and insightful analysis of the intersection between history and literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
