From the publisher:
Eleven of Shakespeare’s historical plays retold in narrative form, with emphasis on the characters, making them stories of men’s motives and feelings, as well as of the actual events they gave rise to or resulted from. These vivid historical pictures provide readers both the impetus to read the plays themselves and the background to understand them.
