The series features line-by-line commentaries and textual notes on the plays and poems. Introductions are regularly refreshed with accounts of new critical, stage and screen interpretations. Edited and introduced by John Margeson, King Henry VIII appears here for the first time in a New Cambridge Shakespeare edition. In his introduction Margeson explores the political and religious background to the play, its pageant-like structure and visual effects, and its varied ironies. He also discusses its stage history, from the famous occasion in 1613 when the Globe theatre burned down during a performance of King Henry VIII to important theatrical productions of the late twentieth century. A balanced account is provided of the authorship controversy that arose in the nineteenth century, when John Fletcher's name was first put forward as a likely collaborator.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eList of illustrations\u003cbr\u003e Preface\u003cbr\u003e Abbreviations and conventions\u003cbr\u003e Introduction\u003cbr\u003e Date and occasion\u003cbr\u003e Authorship\u003cbr\u003e Sources\u003cbr\u003e Divided critics\u003cbr\u003e The unity of the play\u003cbr\u003e The verse of the play\u003cbr\u003e Stage history\u003cbr\u003e Note on the text\u003cbr\u003e List of characters\u003cbr\u003e The play\u003cbr\u003e Textual analysis\u003cbr\u003e Reading list\u003cbr\u003e Supplementary notes.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Shakespeare plays [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Shakespeare plays\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Shakespeare%20plays%20%5BDDS%5D%22\"\u003eDDS\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46001764237592,"sku":"9780521296922","price":11.29,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9780521296922i_d353c786-a4f0-4d7d-accb-190e9d996749.jpg?v=1691374888","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/king-henry-viii-paperback-9780521296922","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
