Description

Shakespeare's Princes of Wales examines a dynamic political and theatrical moment in the history of one of the most famed royal titles in the world--'prince of Wales'. Marisa Cull explores how the plays of Shakespeare and his contemporaries re-staged the dramatic transition from the princedom's Welshness to its English incarnation, and argues that the princedom became, and remains, an English cultural touchstone on matters of royal bloodline andsuccession, native strength, and the anxieties associated with British union.
