Spanning approximately fifty years beginning with the coronation of the king upon the death of Henry V and concluding with the fall of the House of Lancaster; William Shakespearersquo;s Henry VI trilogy reveals the kingrsquo;s struggles under the pressures of prolonged wars with his foreign territories in France and Ireland; and the civil war that threatens his reign.At the beginning of Henry VI; Part III; England is now a nation divided. Unable to maintain a lasting peace between his noblemen; Henry VI must defend his crown on the run from the victorious Yorkists after the first battle of St. Albanrsquo;s. Revenge; power; morality; and loyalty come to the forefront within this final play in the Henry VI trilogy as the two sides battle for control and the crown.Known as ldquo;The Bard of Avon;rdquo; William Shakespeare is arguably the greatest English-language writer known. Enormously popular during his life; Shakespearersquo;s works continue to resonate more than three centuries after his death; as has his influence on theatre and literature. Shakespearersquo;s innovative use of character; language; and experimentation with romance as tragedy served as a foundation for later playwrights and dramatists; and some of his most famous lines of dialogue have become part of everyday speech.HarperPerennialClassics brings great works of literature to life in digital format; upholding the highest standards in ebook production and celebrating reading in all its forms.
