Description
Henry VI Part Two is widely regarded as an excellent introduction to Shakespeare's genius as a writer of history plays. This Penguin Shakespeare edition features an introduction by Michael Taylor and includes a general introduction to Shakespeare's life and Elizabethan theatre, as well as a commentary.
The play tells the story of Henry VI's marriage to Margaret, who is secretly influenced by her lover, the Earl of Suffolk. As Suffolk's power grows, he orders the murder of his Lord Protector, leading to a series of events that ultimately threaten the stability of the kingdom. This edition also includes a chronology and suggestions for further reading.
William Shakespeare (1564-1616) was a renowned playwright and poet, known for works such as Romeo and Juliet, Henry V, Hamlet, Othello, King Lear, and Macbeth, among others. His writing continues to be widely studied and performed today.
