The Story Of English Kings, According To Shakespeare is a historical book written by James Jesse Burns in 1899. The book focuses on the history of the English monarchy as portrayed in the plays of William Shakespeare. Burns examines Shakespeare's historical plays, such as Richard II, Henry IV, Henry V, and Richard III, and uses them as a basis for understanding the reigns of the English kings they depict. The book provides a detailed analysis of each play and its historical context, as well as a broader discussion of the political and social factors that shaped the reigns of the English monarchs. Burns also explores the ways in which Shakespeare's portrayal of the English kings reflects the playwright's own attitudes towards monarchy, power, and authority.Overall, The Story Of English Kings, According To Shakespeare is a fascinating and insightful exploration of both Shakespeare's historical plays and the history of the English monarchy. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in English history, literature, or the intersection of the two.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
