Chronicles of England, Scotland and Ireland (2 of 6): England (12 of 12)
"Chronicles of England, Scotland and Ireland (2 of 6): England (12 of 12)" by Raphael Holinshed is a historical chronicle first published in 1577. This collaborative work offers a comprehensive account of British history, weaving together narratives of kings, battles, and political intrigue. Famous as a primary source for Shakespeare's history plays and tragedies like Macbeth and King Lear, the Chronicles shaped Renaissance literature's understanding of the past. Its pages reveal how
sixteenth-century England interpreted its own heritage, blending facts with rhetorical flourishes that defined national identity and monarchical ideals. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
