"The Life of King Henry VIII" is a historical play attributed to William Shakespeare, although it is believed to have been co-written with John Fletcher. Also known simply as "Henry VIII," the play dramatizes the events surrounding the reign of King Henry VIII of England, particularly focusing on his tumultuous marriages and the political upheavals of the time. The play covers key events such as Henry's divorce from Catherine of Aragon, his marriage to Anne Boleyn, and the birth of his daughter Elizabeth I. It also explores the machinations of Cardinal Wolsey, Henry's chief minister, and the downfall of Anne Boleyn, who is ultimately executed on charges of treason. While "The Life of King Henry VIII" is not as well-known as some of Shakespeare's other history plays, it offers a fascinating glimpse into the intrigues of Tudor England and the personal lives of its rulers. The play is characterized by its rich language, complex characters, and dramatic set pieces, including the famous scene of Anne Boleyn's trial.
Autorenporträt
William Shakespeare (bapt. 26 April 1564 ¿ 23 April 1616) was an English playwright, poet and actor. He is regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist. He is often called England's national poet and the Bard of Avon (or simply the Bard). His extant works, including collaborations, consist of some 39 plays, 154 sonnets, three long narrative poems, and a few other verses, some of uncertain authorship. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright. Shakespeare remains arguably the most influential writer in the English language, and his works continue to be studied and reinterpreted.
