Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the textual history and authorship of the First Part of Henry VI, laying bare the play's origins, structure, and significance in the context of both its own time and Shakespeare's developing career. Through a meticulous examination of the text, the author explores the complex web of authorship, uncovering the contributions of William Shakespeare, Robert Greene, and Thomas Nashe. The book uncovers the evolution of the play from its uncertain beginnings to its final form in the First Folio, shedding light on the editorial decisions and revisions that shaped its ultimate presentation. It examines the play's place within Shakespeare's early historical tetralogy, tracing the development of characters and themes across the four parts. Furthermore, it delves into the play's language and imagery, revealing the literary influences that shaped its unique style. Significantly, the book challenges traditional assumptions about Shakespeare's sole authorship, providing evidence for the substantial contributions of his contemporaries. By doing so, it reframes our understanding of the collaborative nature of early modern playwriting and offers a nuanced perspective on the genesis of one of Shakespeare's most enigmatic works. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
