From Library Journal:
Hart brings contemporary literary theory to bear on interpretative problems posed by Shakespeare's second tetralogy: Richard II, 1 Henry IV, 2 Henry IV, and Henry V. Hart argues that for Shakespeare, the meaning of historical events, as well as cause-and-effect relations, are continually elusive. Central to Hart's thesis is that language, in a world conceived as fallen, cannot correspond to the world described; characters therefore fail to communicate, having differing notions of kingship, god, authority, and rebellion. This can be seen in the frequent occurrence of self-trapping images. Hart also explores the problems of writing history for the stage, discussing anachronism, telescoping, invention, and self-conscious theatricality. Finally, Hart focuses on Henry V as a problem play that questions its own generic structure, suggesting instability when order is most called for. For specialized collections.
