Book Summary
The second play in Shakespeares tetralogy dealing with the Hundred Years War and the Wars of the Roses, Henry VI Part Two is arguably the best introduction to the playwrights genius as a writer of history plays. This Penguin Shakespeare edition is edited by Norman Saunders with an introduction by Michael Taylor.My mouth shall be the parliament of EnlandHenry VI is tricked into marrying Margaret - lover of the Earl of Suffolk, who hopes to rule the kingdom through her influence. There is one great obstacle in Suffolks path, however - the noble Lord Protector, whom he slyly orders to be murdered. Discovering this betrayal, Henry banishes Suffolk, but with his Lord Protector gone the unworldly young King must face his greatest challenge: impending civil war and the rising threat of the House of York.This book includes a general introduction to Shakespeares life and Elizabethan theatre, a separate introduction to Henry VI, Part Two, a chronology, suggestions for further reading, an essay by Rebecca Brown discussing performance options on both stage and screen, and a commentary.William Shakespeare (1564-1616) was born to John Shakespeare and Mary Arden some time in late April 1564 in Stratford-upon-Avon. He wrote about 38 plays (the precise number is uncertain), many of which are regarded as the most exceptional works of drama ever produced, including Romeo and Juliet (1595), Henry V (1599), Hamlet (1601), Othello (1604), King Lear (1606) and Macbeth (1606), as well as a collection of 154 sonnets, which number among the most profound and influential love poetry in English.We go to Shakespeare to find out about ourselves Jeanette Winterson

William Shakespeare Was An English Poet And Playwright, Widely Regarded As The Greatest Writer In The English Language And The World'S Preeminent Dramatist. He Is Often Called England'S National Poet And The "Bard Of Avon". His Surviving Works, Including Some Collaborations, Consist Of 38 Plays, 154 Sonnets, Two Long Narrative Poems, And Several Other Poems. His Plays Have Been Translated Into Every Major Living Language And Are Performed More Often Than Those Of Any Other Playwright. Shakespeare Was Born In Stratford-Upon-Avon In Warwickshire And Was Baptised On 26 April 1564. Thought To Have Been Educated At The Local Grammar School, He Married Anne Hathaway, With Whom He Went On To Have Three Children, At The Age Of Eighteen, Before Moving To London To Work In The Theatre. Two Erotic Poems, Venus And Adonis And The Rape Of Lucrece Were Published In 1593 And 1594 And Records Of His Plays Begin To Appear In 1594 For Richard Iii And The Three Parts Of Henry Vi. Shakespeare'S Tragic Period Lasted From Around 1600 To 1608, During Which Period He Wrote Plays Including Hamlet And Othello. The First Editions Of The Sonnets Were Published In 1609 But Evidence Suggests That Shakespeare Had Been Writing Them For Years For A Private Readership. Shakespeare Spent The Last Five Years Of His Life In Stratford, By Now A Wealthy Man. He Died On 23 April 1616 And Was Buried In Holy Trinity Church In Stratford. The First Collected Edition Of His Works Was Published In 1623. (The Portrait Details: The Chandos Portrait, Artist And Authenticity Unconfirmed. Npg1, National Portrait Gallery, London)
