Shakespeare's Holinshed: The Chronicle and the Historical Plays Compared is a book written by Walter G. Boswell-Stone. The book compares the historical plays of William Shakespeare with the Chronicles of England, Scotland, and Ireland by Raphael Holinshed. It examines how Shakespeare used Holinshed's chronicles as a source for his plays and how he adapted the historical events and characters to fit his dramatic purposes. The book also explores the differences between Holinshed's accounts and Shakespeare's plays, and how Shakespeare's interpretations of history have influenced our understanding of the past. Overall, the book provides a fascinating insight into the creative process of one of the greatest playwrights in history and sheds light on the historical context of his works.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
