King John questions the sources of power and authority and how legitimate they are. Richard II shows the intertwining of personality and politics in the conflict between the proud King Richard and the direct and forthright Henry Bolingbroke. Richard III follows the villainous rise to power of Duke of Gloucester, his short reign and inevitable downfall. Henry VIII follows the reign of Henry up until the birth of Elizabeth, with a focus on the scheming nobility. Throughout are fascinating, black-and-white photographs of actors in costume.","brand":"Country House Library","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56248199643515,"sku":"10833631","price":14.69,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2458\/8207\/files\/orig_511166_jpg.jpg?v=1778670120","url":"https:\/\/countryhouselibrary.co.uk\/products\/william-shakespeares-historical-plays-collins-5","provider":"Country House Library ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
