The Cambridge Introduction to Shakespeare's History Plays（ISBN=9780521671200） 2025 chm pdf kindle rb azw3 下载 115盘

　　Shakespeare's history plays, as fresh today as when they were

written, are based upon the assumption that time is not simply a

destroyer but a preserver, and that 'examples past' might enable us

to understand the present and anticipate the future. This lively

study examines the continuing tradition of Shakespeare's history

plays in stage and film productions as well as giving an account of

the critical debate on these plays. Following two introductory

chapters giving essential background on the genre, the English

history plays are discussed in turn, bringing out the distinctive

characteristics of each play: the three early Henry VI plays; the

perennial stage favourite Richard III; King John; Richard II; Henry

IV 1 and 2, famous for the character of Falstaff; Henry V, which is

treated very differently in the film versions by Olivier and

Branagh; and Henry VIII. An invaluable introduction to these

fascinating and complex plays.
