A brilliant narrative survey of a nation's history as portrayed by the nation's greatest writer, William Shakespeare. John Julius Norwich tells the story of what really happened at the time of the War of the Roses by examining the history plays from EDWARD III to RICHARD III. It is an illuminating and indispensable companion to history and the richness of Shakespeare's imagination; an imagination which still shapes our view of the past today.
