Shakespeare''s history plays have been performed more in recent
years than ever before, in Britain, North America, and in Europe.
This volume provides an accessible, wide-ranging and informed
introduction to Shakespeare''s history and Roman plays. It is
attentive throughout to the plays as they have been performed over
the centuries since they were written. The first part offers
accounts of the genre of the history play, of Renaissance
historiography, of pageants and masques, and of women''s roles, as
well as comparisons with history plays in Spain and the
Netherlands. Chapters in the second part look at individual plays
as well as other Shakespearean texts which are closely related to
the histories. The Companion offers a full bibliography,
genealogical tables, and a list of principal and recurrent
characters. It is a comprehensive guide for students, researchers
and theatre-goers alike.
