This 2004 volume, with a foreword by Dennis Kennedy, addresses a
range of attitudes to Shakespeare's English history plays in
Britain and abroad from the early seventeenth century to the
present day. It concentrates on the play texts as well as
productions, translations and adaptations of them. The essays
explore the multiple points of intersection between the English
history they recount and the experience of British and other
national cultures, establishing the plays as genres not only
relevant to the political and cultural history of Britain but also
to the history of nearly every nation worldwide. The plays have had
a rich international reception tradition but critics and theatre
historians abroad, those practising 'foreign' Shakespeare, have
tended to ignore these plays in favour of the comedies and
tragedies. By presenting the British and foreign Shakespeare
traditions side by side, this volume seeks to promote a more finely
integrated world Shakespeare.
