The Course Shakespeare, some critics suggest, invented the history play. When he stopped writing it, people lost interest. Part of a much larger revision of historical thinking in the Renaissance, the history play asks its audiences, then and now, to reconsider history in terms of CAUSE, ANACHRONISM, and EVIDENCE.
