LARRY S. CHAMPION is a professor emeritus and former head of the English Department at North Carolina State University. He is the author or editor of numerous books including Quick Springs of Sense and Perspective in Shakespeare's English Histories (both Georgia).

Champion’s analyses are interesting, often original, and (of course) sometimes debatable. He treats the plays in order of composition, not so much to show a steady rise in quality as to demonstrate various manipulations of dramatic components to achieve ‘a breadth of vision.’ . . . The book will suit collections for advanced undergraduates and research.
