Raphael Holinshed's account of English history from 1377-1485 in the Chronicles of England, Scotland, and Ireland is most well-known as the source of Shakespeare's English history plays. This book explores the historiographic materials of the Chronicles through a literary lens, focusing on how Renaissance men and women read historical texts.
