The plays of Shakespeare's second tetralogy "Richard II", "Henry IV, Parts 1 and 2" and "Henry V" - are performed more frequently than any of the other history plays, and their three kings, thanks to Shakespeare, are among the most renowned in English history. "Theater and World" examines the theoretical and interpretive problems posed by the four plays. As he probes the complex relationships between drama and history, Jonathan Hart places his work in a wide critical context, from early Shakespearean critics to deconstructionalists and new historicists.
