Further praise for Shakespeares Kings:
Set[s] a reader thinking not just about Englands history, and Shakespeares use of it, but more widely about the more subtle relationship between history and drama in any play or script supposedly based on real events. R. N. Swanson, New York Times
A brilliantly nuanced look at relations between Englands kings and Shakespeares plays He uses his immense knowledge of English and European history to illuminate the historical background of the plays and to offer an intriguing look at England in the years of Shakespeares writing. Kirkus Review

Shakespeare was the theatres greatest craftsman: he wasted no tortured ratiocination on his plays. Instead he filled them with the gaudy heroes that all of us see ourselves becoming on some bright morrow, and the lowly frauds and clowns we are today.
