The Elizabethan history play was one of the most prevalent dramatic
genres of the 1590s, and so was a major contribution to Elizabethan
historical culture. The genre has been well served by critical
studies that emphasize politics and ideology; however, there has
been less interest in the way history is interrogated as an idea in
these plays. Drawing in period-sensitive ways on the field of
contemporary performance theory, this book, first published in
2009, looks at the Shakespearean history play from a fresh angle,
by first analyzing the foundational work of the Queen's Men, the
playing company that invented the popular history play. Through
innovative readings of their plays including The Famous Victories
of Henry V before moving on to Shakespeare's 1 Henry VI, Richard
III, and Henry V, this book investigates how the Queen's Men's
self-consciousness about performance helped to shape Shakespeare's
dramatic and historical imagination.
