Publisher's Synopsis

"The Famous History of the Life of King Henry the Eighth" by William Shakespeare, as edited by William Aldis Wright, is a gripping historical drama that offers a vivid portrayal of the tumultuous reign of King Henry VIII and the events surrounding his quest for a male heir and his tumultuous marriages. Set against the backdrop of the Tudor court, the play chronicles the rise and fall of key figures such as Cardinal Wolsey, Thomas Cromwell, and Queen Katherine of Aragon, as they navigate the political intrigues and personal rivalries of Henry's court. At the heart of the drama is Henry's tumultuous relationship with his wives, particularly his divorce from Katherine and his subsequent marriage to Anne Boleyn, which leads to England's break with the Catholic Church and the establishment of the Church of England.
