    Originally published in 1929, this book contains an examination of Shakespeare's three-part Henry VI and its 'sequel', Richard III. Alexander addresses a number of questions regarding the integrity of the texts of both plays, whether or not Shakespeare wrote them in collaboration with another author, and possible interpolations from other plays. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in Shakespeare, particularly his histories.
