Chronicles (1 of 6): The Historie of England (7 of 8) by Raphael Holinshed
"Chronicles (1 of 6): The Historie of England (7 of 8)" by Raphael Holinshed is a historical chronicle published in 1577, with a revised edition in 1587. This comprehensive work describes British history across England, Scotland, and Ireland. Famous for inspiring Shakespeare's history plays and tragedies like Macbeth and King Lear, the Chronicles presented historical narratives quite differently from their dramatic adaptations. Where Shakespeare created dark, complex characters, Holinshed's accounts often portrayed
figures like Macbeth as capable rulers whose stories unfolded through different moral lenses and political contexts. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
