The Reigne of King Henry the Second, Written in Seauen Bookes

by Thomas May

As with all of the Society's publications, the focus is on the manuscript, and in this case also the 1633 printed edition, and so almost no information is provided about May (1595-1650) beyond what sources he might have drawn on. In addition to the seven original books, this edition retains the two additions May made The Description of King Henry the Second, and The Single and Comparative Characters of Henry the Sonne, and Richard and appends a number of related documents. There is no index. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
