DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from The Famous History of the Life of King Henry the Eighth I know no other play in Shakspere which is chargeable with a fault like this, none in which the moral sympathy of the spectator is not carried along with the main current of action to the end. The singularity of Henry VIII is that, while four-fifths of the play are occupied in matters which are to make us incapable of mirth [prologue, 25 the remaining fifth is devoted to joy and triumph, and ends with universal festivity.'

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from The Famous History of the Life of King Henry the Eighth: A Historical Play, as Arranged for the Stage The Famous History of the Life of King Henry VIII. Is not the least popular of Shakespeare's historical plays. It is held by many that Shakespeare was assisted in the composi tion of this play by a younger dramatist, Fletcher. There is no direct evidence whatever of this; the opinion has been formed from a comparison of certain scenes in the play with the style and metre of Fletcher's work. Of this I am assured, that the play is touched by Shakespeare's genius; and if Fletcher was associated in the work, he must have been, as Mr. Hudson says, surprised out of himself. The picture of the Tudor period is so vivid, and the characterization at times so remarkable, that the revival of the play will, I trust, be welcome. The tragic interest ceases with the death of Katharine; but it will doubtless be recognised that the intention of the poet is to contrast, in the christening of Elizabeth, the sorrowful death of the divorced Queen with the brief triumph of Anne Bullen. I wish to express my indebtedness to Mr. Seymour Lucas, for his patient research and artistic skill, and to the many others who have rendered me valuable aid.
