Beskrivning

The history play is an extremely popular genre among English playwrights of this century, yet very little research has been done in the field. This book examines the term 'history play' afresh, seeking to define more precisely the scope and the limits of the genre in relation to twentieth-century ideas of and attitudes to history.
