Review
"This is a book that students of Shakespeare--from the general
reader to the specialist who is wise enough to admit he needs
help--will find most useful. Indeed, it is a book that one has
always wished someone else would write."--Alexander Leggatt,
Shakespeare Quarterly
"Saccio furnishes information...and he does so painlessly: he
writes with narrative thrust, lightness of touch and
lucidity....Few seasoned Shakespeareans willnot come away from the
book more knowledgeable about the kings and their reigns."--Samuel
Schoenbaum, author of William Shakespeare: A Documentary Life
"This book remains an essential companion to those literature
students unfamiliar with English History. Clear and cogent."--Dr.
Jon M. Suter, Houston Baptist University
