DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from English History in Shakespeare's Plays This volume had its origin in a course of lectures on the study of history as illustrated in the plays of Shakespeare. It is never safe to assume that what has been listened to with attention will be read with interest. The lectures, however, have been recast, pruned, and amplified, and much machinery has been added in the way of tables of contents, bibliography, chronological tables, and index. With such helps it is hoped that these pages may effect a working part nership between the Chronicle of the formal historian and the Epic of the dramatic poet. They are ad dressed especially to those readers and students of English History who may not have discovered what an aid to the understanding of certain important phases of England's national development lies in these histor ical plays, which cover a period of three hundred years.
