Froissart and the English Chronicle Play by Robert Metcalf Smith is a literary analysis of the influence of the medieval chronicler Jean Froissart on English drama. The book examines the ways in which Froissart's works, particularly his Chronicles, were adapted and incorporated into English plays during the late medieval and early modern periods. Smith explores the themes, characters, and language of Froissart's writing and how they were used in plays such as The Famous Victories of Henry V and Edward III. The book also delves into the historical context of Froissart's work and the ways in which it shaped the English understanding of their own history. Overall, Froissart and the English Chronicle Play offers a comprehensive look at the intersection of literature and history in medieval and early modern England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
