Praise for the previous edition: So well written is this book that one does not need a purpose to pursue it. Even so, it makes excellent background reading for all of the Shakespearean history plays. --New York Times Book Review<br>

Indeed, it is a book that one has always wished someone else would write.""--Alexander Leggatt, Shakespeare Quarterly ""Saccio furnishes information...and he does so painlessly: he writes with narrative thrust, lightness of touch and lucidity....Few seasoned Shakespeareans willnot come away from the book more knowledgeable about the kings and their reigns.""--Samuel Schoenbaum, author of William Shakespeare: A Documentary Life ""This book remains an essential companion to those literature students unfamiliar with English History. Clear and cogent.""--Dr. Jon M. Suter, Houston Baptist University
