Chronicles (3 of 6): Historie of England (1 of 9) by Raphael Holinshed
"Chronicles (3 of 6): Historie of England (1 of 9)" by Raphael Holinshed is part of a collaborative historical work first published in 1577. This comprehensive chronicle of British history became a primary source for Renaissance writers, most notably William Shakespeare. The work presents national and royal narratives through distinctive rhetorical styles, chronicling events and figures that would later be transformed into some of literature's most famous plays. From Macbeth's ten-year reign
to King Lear's story, these chronicles reveal the historical accounts that inspired theatrical masterpieces. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
