The Lesser Known Shakespeare,
By "eejohnst" (Livonia, Michigan USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Henry VI, Parts, I, II, and III (Signet Classics) (Pts. 1-3) (Paperback)
I don't understand why more people don't read Shakespeare's history plays because they are some of his best work, especially the Henry VI trilogy. Shakespeare's interpretation and manipulation of history drive this trilogy forward and create unique opportunities to judge his skill against the "facts." I loved this trilogy! Not only is it an expert study in human nature (which is Shakespeare's trademark), it is action-packed with never a boring moment. Read it!
