The line of thinking that I was beginning to sketch out in my last blog entry has now been developed at greater length for a piece published in today's Guardian: Shakespeare's Best History Plays.
Jonathan Bate, Professor of Literature at the University of Warwick, is well known as a Shakespeare scholar, biographer, critic and broadcaster. In September 2011 he becomes Provost of Worcester College and Professor of English Literature in the University of Oxford.
Excellent article! Two of my favourite plays, as well! Although it came a little late for the Shakespeare exam paper (at Cambridge) last week! :)
