Abstract

This thesis is an examination of the historical accurateness of Shakespeare's Henry VI, and Richard III. Interpretation of established facts plays a great part in the use of historical facts. Shakespeare, in an age of highly developed nationalism, pictures an age in which historically there is no evidence of nationalism.
