King Henry VI - Softcover

Being a mere infant on the throne of England, King Henry VI is in trouble. The power struggle between the houses of Lancaster and York resurfaces. A feud between the Duke of Gloucester the current ruler and cardinal, while the Duke of York and Richard Plantagenet are engaged in a fierce disagreement where they are more concerned with destroying one another than they are in protecting England. Talbot the leader in France is unable to suppress the French and is being driven back to the sea by Joan of Arc. William Shakespeare is widely regarded as the greatest writer of the English language. Works of Romeo and Juliet, Othello, A Mid Summer's Night Dream and The Taming of the Shrew have been taught and been on stage since they were written. His influence on culture is far more reaching as he has invented many of the words that we are using today.
