Written in the wake of the sudden death of Henry Stuart, King James I and VI's oldest son and heir, Shakespeare's most 'contemporary' history play offers provocative parallels between the Tudor past and Stuart present. The play examines the rise and fall of Cardinal Wolsey, Thomas Cranmer, and Anne Boleyn, providing both a meditation on history as a narrative dictated by Church and State, and on the tragic lives of those who become collateral damage to greater forces. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe New Oxford Shakespeare\u003c\/em\u003e offers authoritative editions of Shakespeare's works with introductory materials designed to encourage new interpretations of the plays and poems.
