  • Shakespear History

    Shakespear History

    The Course Shakespeare, some critics suggest, invented the history play. When he stopped writing it, people lost interest. Part of a much larger revision of historical thinking in the Renaissance, the history play asks its audiences, then and now, to reconsider history in terms of CAUSE, ANACHRONISM, and EVIDENCE. Of these three, questions of cause may be the most palpable. Is history shaped by Providence or human machination? Think you know the answer? Shakespeare didn't.

    Both "The Persians" and "The Histories" contain information regarding the battle of Salamis. "The Persians" is set in the period between the battle of Salamis and the deciding battle of Platea, and although a work of fiction, it has many valuable and useful bits of information.
