Shakespere's Holinshed: The Chronicle And The Historical Plays Compared

Shakespeare's Holinshed: The Chronicle And The Historical Plays Compared is a scholarly work by Walter G. Boswell-Stone. The book explores the relationship between Shakespeare's historical plays and the source material he used, primarily the Chronicles of England, Scotland, and Ireland by Raphael Holinshed. Boswell-Stone analyzes how Shakespeare adapted and transformed the historical events and characters to create his own dramatic narratives. The book also delves into the cultural and political context of the Elizabethan era, providing insights into how Shakespeare's plays reflected and shaped the attitudes of the time. This work is a valuable resource for students and scholars of Shakespeare, as well as anyone interested in the history and literature of the Renaissance period.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
