Shakespeare's Edward III | William Shakespeare

Sams was the WWII cryptographer who analyzed the text and made the still-disputed claim that this is a work from Shakespeare‘s “Lost Decade” (1580s). It‘s has more historical inaccuracies than the other Shakespeare Histories but nonetheless plays like a highlight reel from Edward III‘s life. The “exegesis” at the end of the book was too much for me but I will probably dig into more the next time I tackle this play!

Shakespeare's Edward III | William Shakespeare

There is *still* no Folger Library edition of “Edward III” (by William Shakespeare) so, Eric Sam‘s blue dust-jacketed edition it is!

Did some background reading about the Battles of Sluys & Crecy, the Flemish wool trade and, the Black Plague of 1347... And will be following up with a biography of Edward III and a little literary criticism.
