Shakespeare's Historical Plays
About This Novel
Shakespeare's history plays express the medieval times in his mind and the life picture of his time in an epic way. The central theme is England or the national theme placed in a solemn and highly moralized context. Through a comprehensive interpretation of the entire series of eight of Shakespeare's major historical plays, and by analyzing Shakespeare's careful consideration of these historical themes and the exquisite structure of most of his historical plays, the author of this book makes people more convinced that Shakespeare is an educated poet who can rival Dante and Milton in terms of broad wisdom and power of thinking. And from the first to the last, in all his historical dramas, he always had a solid awareness of the principle of order, and because of this awareness he was closer to the more philosophical writers of his generation. E. M. W. Tillyard: British critic. His research on the concept of the universe in the Renaissance is representative in the study of the historical background of the Renaissance. He is a representative figure in 20th century Western historicist Shakespeare criticism and even the entire historicist literary criticism.
