Description
Shakespeare's Kings by John Julius Norwich chronicles the turbulent events that shaped the playwright's history plays. From Edward III to Richard III, this period of English history was marked by constant warfare and shifting alliances, providing the raw material for Shakespeare's dramas. But what really happened during this time? How did historical events influence the characters and storylines in Shakespeare's plays? Norwich sheds light on these questions, exploring the facts behind the fiction and revealing how Shakespeare took creative liberties to entertain his audience.
