Summary "The Works of William Shakespeare [Cambridge Edition] [Vol. 6 of 9]" by Shakespeare is a collection of plays and writings from one of the most famous playwrights in the early modern period. This volume includes classic works such as "King Henry VIII," "Troilus and Cressida," "Coriolanus," and "Titus Andronicus," reflective of the late 16th to early 17th centuries. The book entails profound themes of power, love, betrayal, and morality, showcasing an array of characters from noble kings to tragic heroes. At the start of "King Henry VIII," we are introduced to characters such as the Duke of Norfolk and the Duke of Buckingham, discussing the recent glorious encounter between English and French nobility. The opening scenes set the political tone of intrigue and rivalry, especially concerning the ambitions of Cardinal Wolsey, who is portrayed as a manipulative figure in the English court. The play begins with an exploration of power dynamics, personal grievances, and the stark realities of loyalty and betrayal amidst the backdrop of Henry VIII's reign, ultimately highlighting the costs of ambition and the interplay of personal relationships with political maneuvers.
