KING HENRY VIII - WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE KARTONIER...

King Henry VIII has one of the fullest theatrical histories of any play in the Shakespeare
canon  yet has been consistently misrepresented  both in performance and in criticism. This
edition offers a new perspective on this ironic  multi-layered  collaborative play  revealing
it as a complex meditation on the progress of Reformation which sees English life since Henry
VIII's day as a series of bewildering changes in national and personal allegiance and
represents 'history' as the product of varied and contradictory testimony. McMullan makes a
powerful claim for the rehabilitation of Henry VIII  providing the fullest performance history
of any edition to date and reading the work not as a marginal 'late' Shakespeare play but as a
play which is paradigmatic of the achievement of Renaissance drama as a whole.
