This is an accessible read that goes further in depth about the history of Shakespeare's English Kings. Saccio analyzes where Shakespeare departs from and enriches the history behind his royal protagonists' stories. It will help you keep track of your various Henrys, Richards and Edwards, your Plantagenets and your Tudors. I like how Saccio compacts Enlish history (it's a thin book) and conjectures about the political reasons that informed Shakespeare's artistic decisions. Sidenote: I think history is really interesting yet scholarly writings about history tend to be really dry and dull. THIS won't bore you to tears! ...less

"A cynical novel about some very unlikeable characters; surprisingly, the novel itself is likable.

Ridiculously melodramatic. Melodramatic isn't necessarily a bad thing, it's just a warning for anyone who is expecting a spare narrative in the Hemingway vein. I am too impatient to write a detailed summary. This novel is not about war, as its title might suggest. That is, it's not about War, although I guess one can argue that the characters are at war with each other. It's about some very fucked up people who do very fucked up things to each other, it's about these said fucked up people who don't get what they want, and want what they shouldn't have. Fairly riveting and like I said, MELODRAMATIC. The non-linear narrative is all over the place...kinda like Rashomon but set in post-Victorian England and Europe. ...less
