In a sparkling, fast-paced narrative, Shakespeares Kings chronicles the turbulent events that inspired Shakespeares history plays, from Edward III to Richard III. In a time of uncertainty and incessant warfare - when the crown was constantly contested, alliances were made and broken, and the people rose up in revolt - this was the raw material that inspired Shakespeares dramas. But what really happened between 1337 and 1485? Where did history stop and drama begin? John Julius Norwich establishes just how real Shakespeares characters and events are and what liberties he took with the facts to entertain his audience. Shakespeares Kings is an illuminating companion to history and to the richness of Shakespeares imagination, with a body of work which still shapes our view of the past today. n
